  • Unable toupdate an album after editing photos externally (i.E.: photoshop)

    I took a photo album and converted it to a book. After laying out my book, I want to edit the photo's externally with Photoshop (Removing date stamp on digital images, better effects and quality control).
    How do I update my album/book with the changed/edited images?
    PowerPC G5   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    ParkGroup:
    To get iPhoto to recognize the edits when using a 3rd party editor like Photoshop or Photoshop Elements you first must select it in iPhoto's General preference section's Edit photo: menu.
    Next, double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing and hit the Save button, if you get the JPEG Options window at the next step just go ahead and click on OK.
    However, if you get the navigation window indicating that PS wants to save it as a PS file you'll need to select jpeg from the menu and save or click on the desktop in the Navigation window and save it to the desktop and import it as a new photo.
    Editing a photo in PS directly from the Finder will result in iPhoto not knowing that the file has been edited and it won't show up in the Modified folder nor will the thumbnail be updated.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • After editing, photos now look blurry

    The photos out of my digital SLR camera were really crisp right after upload to iPhoto; but after straightening and using the editing tools while in full screen mode, the photos now look a little blurry. Any ideas?

    Hi all,
    I've noticed the same problem.
    But clearly this blur does not affect the picture files as they are saved on your disk. It's probably just a question of optimized display when looking at pictures in iPhoto.
    Take a crisp image, import it into iPhoto. Now simply crop it a bit (you don't even need to rotate it !). When looking at it in full screen, it will now look much softer than the original one, you can check this by pressing the shift key. But now press "1" to see it at 100% : your image is not blurred, it's just badly displayed !
    Same problem when simply opening an image in Preview.app -- since leopard there are some fancy zoom animations, but images look indeed very soft at everything but 100%
    Hope they will fix this soon, It's frustrating to look at softened images from a marvelous camera ...

  • BIg Problem - loss of sound, unable to reload drivers after reboot. Now what? HELP PLEASE!!!

    HI,
    Have been working on getting this resolved for the past 6-7 hours reading and trying different things to no avail.  I have a Toshiba m305 s4829 from Best Buy thats only a few months old.  It apparently has a conextant audio driver ('smart audio 221' according to devices), which isn't showing up (there is a red "x" over the speaker). When I scroll the mouse over that icon it says "No Audio Output Device Is Enabled".  And when I go check out the Device Manager there is a hazard symbol under "SOUND, VIDEO & GAME CONTROLLERS". 
    Don't know if this is a registry issue, a BIOS issue, a Vista 64 issue, a problem with me downloading the wrong driver, or somehow screwing up the process of unpacking and installing it.  Or if there is even some possible conflict that occured elsewhere.  
    for more info on any of those ideas:
    -registry / bios - I don't want to mess with these unless I absolutely have to.  I do have CC cleaner, superantispyware, and Avira antivirus installed and no viruses or spyware currently.
    -wrong driver possibility - the first driver I tried was from the Toshiba "downloads" section for my model- its the second one down just issued on 12-02-08 ( http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2060017&rpn=PSMDYU&modelFilter=M305D-S4829&selCategory=3&selFamily=1073768663&selModel=2060017|PSMDYU)
    So that didn't work and I kept reading around and saw this (see http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=37703&tstart=0); whichpointed me towards trying this driver (http://www.mediafire.com/?mymmj2bkjfc) which didn't work either. 
    -in terms of how I installed it, I tried different ways.  Read that if you simply uninstalled the driver and rebooted then it should automatically reinstall.  Not for me.  So I tried unistalling the old driver, rebooting, unpacking & installing the new driver & rebooting again.  Nothing.    I also tried installing it directly over the old driver that shows up, nothing.  
    -potential conflict?? I do have a lot of music programs on here both recording (cubase, audacity) archiving/ playing (Media Monkey, Itunes), and composing (sibellius 5).  It was originally in audacity that I found out I couldn't play my freshly recorded song back. 
    Getting frustrated, especially on a new system like this!!! Please help, would like to get this solved without having to reformat as I have put a lot of time/ energy into getting all the programs on there and working properly (which they did up until now).  I'm not sure about the recovery disks that came with and whether they would help, my understanding is that the latest drivers **SHOULD** be on toshibas website so recovery disks wouldn't be needed.  
    ***A few other tidbits that may help you help me:
    - in addition to no audio driver showing up in device manager, there is also a hazard sign showing that my imaging device driver for the computers camera has dissapeared;(Chicony USB 2.0 camera).  What was I doing on this computer when it happened?  Well, nothing - restarting it.   An hour previous to that I was able to record a short rehearsal (hourish) on audicity (though audacity crashed and I had to uthe audacity reovery tool to get it back).   I've never really used the camera, but ealier in the day my wife used it to try and take a picture for her facebook profile (which I don't think she was successful at).  
    Thanks for any ideas / advice!!

    1.  We have had on several occurrences a situation where we (people in the office using the 941 phones) can hear the caller (or person we call outgoing), but they are unable to hear any sound from us.  Rebooting the SPA400 has seemed to solve the problem.  The problem has happened at least 5 times today, each time requiring a reset of the SPA400 before the external side of the party is able to hear us.
    ---try setting VAD to ON , set preffered coder to g711u on the spa400, don't forget the magic power cycle after saving settings.

  • Can layers be used to further edit a photo in Elements after editing in LR? [was:Tacoma Grandma]

    Is there a way to use layers to further edit a photo in Elements after editing in Lightroom?

    The "Edit In" option of Lightroom is the usual way. This creates a new image that PS / Elements can work with. The starting image and the new image (showing the results of your editing, once those are saved) both then appear in Lightroom.
    Exporting does not pair up LR and Elements (or other image editing program) in quite the same easy and transparent way.
    As to the Layers query: probably the most usual format chosen for external editing is TIFF, but PSD is also used. Both preserve any layers intact when saved (unlike JPG) allowing returning to a layered file for further editing in the future. These editing files include a further fullsize preview, if layered (this is unnecessary for a flattened file, in which case LR can just read that Background layer directly).
    The preview is a losslessly compressed full colour bitmap, updated at each time of saving, representing the then-current combined appearance of the "layer stack" as seen within Elements.
    Lightroom cannot understand about whatever pixel and adjustment layers, layer interactions and effects etc the file may contain -  but it doesn't need to, because it can look at the "compatibility" preview instead.

  • After editing photos in iPhoto

    There are some photos that I have edited and would like to have them remain permanently in their edited format. After editing photos I open iTunes to update (sync) my photos onto my iPhone and iPod, however the photos that I edited remain in the original condition on my iPhone and iPod. Is there any way to have the edited photos synced in the edited condition when syncing my photos to my iPhone & iPod?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Here's how to use PSE correctly with iPhoto:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop 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 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    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.

  • Why don't PS Elements 12 edited photos properly save in version sets after editing?

    This is a problem that never occurred in PS Elements 11. But if I edite a photo that is currently in Organizer with PS Element Editor and save it after editing, it only gets properly included in Organizer and made part of the version set about 20% of the time. The rest of the time the edited file gets saved in the same folder as the original but has not been added to Organizer. The appropriate check boxes in the Save As screen are checked. But 4 out of 5 times it behaves as if the boxes are not checked.  I have done several photos in sequence and used the same exact keystrokes and only one or two will be included in the version set. I then have to go "Get" the version and bring it into Organizer and tell the program to Stack the two photos. It is a pain to do it that way. Does anybody have a clue why it is not working as it is suppose to?

    Known bug in converted catalogs. It works correctly if you create a new catalog or a workaround for converted catalogs is to kill the ElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe process in Task Manager.

  • Saving Elements 9 Edited photos to IPhoto 11

    I am fairly new to using IPhoto. Elements is old hat to me. When I edit a photo in Elements and save it to IPhoto it seems to get lost. I shoot in RAW, cntrl click and say open in external editor (Elements 9) and do my editing. Then I do a "save as" and change the extension to jpg or psd and save it with the same name or give the file a new name with a jpg extension and save it to the same place indicated in the "save as" dialog box. I cannot locate the saved files in IPhoto in the same album as it came from. Color me frustrated as ****!!

    This may be of some help:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's Advanced Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    Click to view full size
    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.

  • Problems updating Elements 9 to Elements 13. [was: Now What??]

Before it was complete, I was told that a windows download was pending and I should complete that and restart my laptop. I did that, but now what? How do I replace my elements9 with 13? where do I get the exe file? This seems to be a pretty poor when of doing things! Can any one help me?

    you should download both the exe and matching 7z files to the same directory.  then click the exe.

  • After  editing photos on the iPhoto can i keep the original date of the picture,(when it was taken).thanks

    can i recover the original date of the picture whenit  was taken after editing with iphoto.

    You do not need to do anything - editing a photo in iPhoto does not modify the original date of the photo - that is a part of the photo informatiopn (in the EXIF data) - the only way to modify it with iPhoto is to use the modify date/Time command

  • Unable to close tabs after a new tab is opened automatically and suddenly

    Recently, after the latest update, this problem has been occurring quite often. When i am using multiple tabs, the browser will suddenly open a new tab automatically. The new tab is empty. When i try to close the tab, it cannot be closed. i tried closing other tabs that i was using but they too cannot be close. i have to restart the browser and the problem will be solved. But the problem will resurface after awhile of using multiple tabs again. The problem is more frequent when i am using more tabs.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Unable to close "Notes" after Mavericks Upgrade

    Hi Everyone,
    I am using a MacPro (pre retina version) 2.4 Ghz,i5 version and recently upgraded to Mavericks.
    Post upgrade, “Notes” automatically opens and stays on top of other applications. Force Quit doesn’t help either, causes it to reopen. It’s practically making the Mac unusable with the focus automatically shifting to “Notes” every 2-3 secs, even if I am using any other program. I have tried restarting and re-installing Mavericks.
    Any suggestions ?
    Thanks,
    - K

    While Notes is open, try doing Notes > About Notes from Notes' menu.
    Does it show Version 2.0?  That is the proper version to accompany Mavericks.
    If it shows something else, it is either not the Apple Notes product, or incorrectly left over from some previous OS X.

  • Unable to close account after sudden hardship

    I have been trying to close my account for two days due to the fact that my husband was suddenly arrested right before the holidays, he will be going to prison for a long time, and my finances have been cut almost in half. I am told I agreed to a contract in September, and I only recall clearly stating NO when I was asked if I would agree to a two year contract. I have spoken to several Verizon associates, including two managers, and get the impression that this company couldn't care less about customers who run into hardship, meanwhile I am stuck with this bill growing bigger and bigger. Yeah, Merry Christmas to you all too.
