HELP- Need to set up Elements 10 as external editor from LR3, but layers aren't available

Help! I am trying to set up Elements10 to open as external editor from LR3 but I must not be doing something right. When I "edit in" and select elements10 from LR3, it brings the photo up. However, none of the layers options are available. They are all grayed out. I need to be able to access layers. Help!!!! Anyone know what's going on?

You probably exported the photo to photoshop elements 10 as a 16 bits/channel file, so go to Image>Mode in photoshop elements 10
and click on 8 bits/channel so you can use layers.

I have set up photoshop elements as external editor in iPhoto but I cannot get the edited photo to open in iPhoto. When I save the photo Elements asks where do I want to save it and iPhoto is not an option.

I have set up Photoshop Elements11 as the External Editor in iPhoto just as Terence Devlin said. However when I save the edited photo it does not appear in iPhoto. A drop down menu asks where I want to save the photo and I do not know what to choose. Also should I choose, "save" or "save as"? I should be really grateful for your help.

I suggest opening iPhoto and reverting back to iPhoto in the Preferences for photo editing. Quit iPhoto. Restart your Mac for good measure. Open iPhoto and again choose Photoshop Elements in Preferences as the editing app.
As far as editing, I don't have PE, but I have another editing app form the Mac App Store, ColorStrokes. I have been experimenting with using it for editing iPhoto photos and it works flawlessly. After setting ColorStroke as the editing app, I open a photo in iPhoto and click the Edit button in the menu bar below the photo. Color Stoke immediately opens with the photo and I complete my editing. When I have finished editing I choose to Save the photo, leave the name the same and agree to replace the iPhoto photo of the same name. I quit ColorStroke and the photo in iPhoto now has all of my edits from ColorStroke.
Should I decide that I prefer the original photo, I open the photo in iPhoto and choose Revert to Original in the Photos pulldown menu.

Help needed. I have a 3TB external hard drive partitioned into 1TB's. I used one partition as backup for the main computer hard drive. But now it is greyed out as shown in the disk utility and its name changed, i dont know how that happened, i tried verifying and repairing it but had no luck. I also tried mounting and unmounting it but still no solution. Anyone to help please?

Looks bad. I would strongly advise backing up the stuff on the other two partitions as soon as possible in case the rest of the drive goes wrong.
Beyond that, Disk Utility has limited abilities to repair disks, DiskWarrior uses a different approach and might, emphasis might be more successful. It has certainly done the job for me in the past when Disk Utility could not.

Help needed in setting up Japanese Database

Hi there,
Help needed in setting up Japanese Database.
I created database with UTF8 character set on Sun Solaris O/S.
Oracle version 8.1.7.
I am accessing the DB through SQL*Plus (Windows client).
I downloaded the Japanese font on client side and also set the NLS_LANG environment variable to Japanese_Japan.UTF8. Still, I am not able to view Japanese characters. O/S on client side is Windows 2000 professional (English). Is O/S (client) need to be Japanese O/S? When I try to retrieve sysdate, its displaying in Japanese but not all characters in Japanese. Can anyone help me out how to set up the client and is there any parameters to be setup at server side? I also tried to insert japanese characters into table through client, but it displaying as "?????" characters. Any help in this regard is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
-Shankar

your program is working just fine.
do you know what accept does? if not read below.
serversocket.accept() is where java stops and waits for a (client)socket to connect to it.
only after a socket has connected wil the program continue.
try putting the accept() in its own little thread and let it wait there while your program continues in another thread

IPhoto 11 and PS Elements 10 - external editor issue

My Imac has been upgraded to Mountain Lion, iPhoto 11 and PS Elements 10. Now right-clicking shots in iPhoto browser brings up external editor choice and will then open PSE 10, but not the shot ( I have to drag shot to desktop, open with PSE10, save, import back to iPhoto - a huge step backwards). Same software ( iPhoto 11 and PSE10) works fine, albeit slowly) on my Macbook Pro running Lion. Please help?

You're selecting the wrong item as the editor in the Adobe PSE folder. It's fooled a lot of us in the past. This is the file you want to select as the external editor:
I may be preaching to the choir here but maybe the following will enlighten a bit on using PSE as the external editor:
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 1: screenshots are from PSE 10
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.
My apologies if you've already seen the above.

I need to set up an apple ID for my IPAD but my daughter was already using my email address for her itunes

I need to set up an apple id for my IPad but my daughter is using my email address to purchase music for her IPOD and IPhone. How can she delete her apple ID so that I can use my own email account?

Try getting a credit card from the same people who issued the debit card. If I read the home sharing paper properly after your set it up with the credit card you can change the payment method back to debit.

Changing External Editor from Photoshop CS to CS5

I've looked through the preferences pane but for the life of me can't figure out how to get iPhoto to switch its external editor from CS to CS5. Does anyone here have any idea? TIA!

In iPhoto's General Preferences use that menu to select CS again. That will let you navigate to the editor of your choice to select it. It's not very intuitive, is it?
This may be preaching to the choir but FWIW:
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.

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.

My Photoshop Elements moved my pix from iPhoto but the picture names have been lost???

I installed a copy of Photoshop Elements 12 yesterday. I had been using iPhoto and had literally hundreds of pictures, each with an aphpa-numeric names. I imported the photos from IPhoto into Elements 12, but there are no longer identifying names on any picture. Where are the names? There is a column of numeric file names in [Organizer] along the left sides - which mean nothing to me. I have tried every button I could find and searched the Photoshop Elements for Dummies for a possible solution. I asked two friends familiar with full blown Photoshop and they are perplexed. So am I. Has anybody any useful suggestions? Thank you

If you used the "from iPhoto" command, you made duplicates of your iphoto library photos. Just delete them and then decide how you want to proceed. "From iPhoto" is to be used if you decide you want to use the elements organizer exclusively and not iphoto anymore, but you don't have to do that. You can make a small test catalog with just some photos from iphoto, or you can set up PSE as your external editor from iphoto, or you can export photos from iphoto to the desktop, edit them in PSE and then reimport them back to iphoto as new images.
Which would you like to try?

LR 4.3 - Can't Change External Editor from CS6 back to CS5

Using LR 4.3 because of Retina Screen MBP. Downloaded trial copy of CS6 with patch. Every time I use CS6 as an external editor from LR, it crashes, especially when cloning. Want to change back to CS5 as external editor in preferences but it doesn't seem to be an option. Any way to do this?
Thanks
Barry Fisher

As long as CS6 is installed Lightroom will choose it as the primary external editor. You can however have CS5 as a secondary editor.
You do not choose the primary editor it will only be Photoshop, Lightroom will choose the most (senior) one installed CS over Elements and the latest version.

Have set Elements 12 as external editor for iPhoto =, but pictures identified for editing don't appear in Elements

Have just installed Elements 12 and nominated it as the external editor for iPhoto. When I identify a pic for edit in iPhoto and direct it to Elements it doesn't appear in Elements.
Help please

Usually that means you selected the logical file as your external editor instead of the correct one. The actual PSE editor is buried inside the Support Files folder:

Help needed to set consecutive numbering in table rows

I need to set up a table so that the first column is a column of consecutive numbers (much like the record count).
The table will be followed with a text frame, and then a new table will start.
HOWEVER. I wanted to numbers in the first column to continue consecutively.
I am using this for a lengthy explanation of technical instructions: one instruction/ per line.
There will be about 1000+ instructions over the course of this 200-page book. The second column contains a checkbox, which is why I am having problems setting this up in an ordinary word-processing program, because of export issues (Dont ask). The third column contains the instruction.
I am hoping that Numbers will solve my formatting problems.
*Is there a simple way to set up the first table column in a sheet to number the rows consecutively, and continue the numbering each time a new table is inserted?*
I hope I have explained this well enough.

Fred, is it possible for this to work with other number related items. I'm talking specifically about sequential inventory numbers. At work I used excel, but now that computer is dead, and I'm working from home. I've refused to install microsoft products on my home machine for quite a while. I love numbers, and am glad it's out, so I am never even tempted by the "devil". Sorry got off topic.
Essentially I used to write BLX-001 in cell one, BLX-002 in cell two, then do the drag method. When I have text in the Numbers cell though it won't give consecutive numbers, just continually repeat the numbers in the first two cells. Any helps

Workflow using photoshop elements as external editor

Hi.
I am very satisfied with aperture 3. I think it is an excellent program, and the organization of pictures are excellent. I love all the editing options as well. However I looked at some tutorials on photoshop elements 9, and really like some of the editing options there, so I am thinking of buying that program. I would like to use aperture 3 as my main photo editing program and organizing all my pictures via aperture 3. However on some pictures I would like to use elements to edit (remove unwanted persons and do on). As I understand it, i will have to set up aperture 3 so that elements will be my external editor. Will the changes I make in elements then be saved in the project library in aperture 3.
Can anyone with experience on this elaborate?

Gunfighter, how did you do it? The only options the "home" screen provides are (1) welcome screen opens on start, (2) organizer starts behind welcome screen or (3) editor starts behind welcome screen. Surprisingly, when I start Elements 9 on its own, the welcome screen doesn't show and the program immediately opens in the edit mode. However, when I'm in Aperture and go to external editor, Elements 9 immediately opens with the welcome screen and the picture never transfers from Aperture to Elements; very frustrating! Appreciate any help you can provide.

Using Photoshop Elements as External Editor for iPhoto

I have set up iPhoto so that I can use Photoshop Elements as the external editor. When I select a photo and choose 'External Editor,' Elements comes up but my photo is not displayed.

Hi Toomuchtrouble000,
When you are making the settings from iPhoto, make sure you select Photoshop Elements Editor, which is present in Support Files, not Photoshop Elements 11, which is actually the Welcome Screen.
Please change that setting.
Hope this helps.
