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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • HT204655 How to have a unified Photos Library after migrated from iPhoto and Aperture?

    The "HT204655: Get started with Photos for OS X" do not help. If you have previously used iPhoto and Aperture, when you "migrate" the iPhoto, then follow the steps to "migrate" the Aperture library, you end up with 5 files in your Pictures folder: Photos Library (from iPhoto), Photos Library 2(from Aperture), iPhoto Library (Not sure if can be deleted or not - of course no), Aperture Library (for some reason blank), Aperture Library 2 (Created by Photos?).
    So, looks like a mess and no easy way to make a clean migration.
    I've a hope that exists a solution to have a single Photos Library with the merged iPhoto and Aperture contents, like a real migration.
    If I export everything (From iPhoto and Aperture) then import in the Photos in a single Library should work, but will lose all the organization, faces, etc...

    You could merge libraries with iPhoto Library Manager, but I never tried this for merging Aperture 3 libraries with iPhoto 8.
    Are you planning to keep all your photos in iCloud? Then consider to merge them in iCloud, but it will take a long time.
    Are you using iCloud Photo Library (Beta) and have enough iCloud storage for the merged library?
    Wait, till your current Photos Library has been completely uploaded to iCloud.
    Then quit Photos, and launch it again, while holding down the alt/options key. Select the old iPhoto lIbrary.
    When the upgrade of the old library has been finished, make this library the System Photos library (in the Photos Preferences > General).
    Enable again iCloud Photo Library (Beta) in the Photos > iCloud preferences.
    Now Photos will upload the new library to iCloud as well and create a merged library in iCloud. After this merged library synced with your Mac, you will have a merged Photos library.

  • How do I edit RAW photos in PSE11?

    When I open a RAW file it does not bring up the adjustment tab?  I'm not sure if I could have deleted this somehow from my workspace?  If so, how do I get it back or install it again?

    I'm new to this on a Mac, so I downloaded this from the Adobe site:

    It's on my desktop and I'm not sure what to do with it now - any suggestions?

  • 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.

  • How can I transfer RAW photos from iphoto to a separate folder. I want to send RAW photos to someone to process.

    Hello I use iphoto as my place of storage of my photos.
    I want to take some of my RAW photos out of iphoto and plac e them in a different folder to " send" to someone who wants to " edit".
    I am not the one who will process the RAW i just want to get the RAW to the person that needs them.  But my RAW are in iphoto
    It seems that if i just drag a RAW picture from iphoto to dektop it does not retain its RAW size.
    please advise
    I just want to be able to send RAW photos that i have in iphoto to someone who will edit them.

    Where are my raw photos and how do I get to them (if anyone knows please explain in very simple terms).
    File -> New Smart Folder
    Photo -> is -> Raw
    will find all your Raws.
    As described above, exporting with the Kind set to Original will get them to the Finder.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

    First off it would be good to learn how to use iPhoto - editing is one of the most basic operations - what version of iPhoto do you have? Have you watched the videos and looked in Help?
    In general you select the photo can click edit - to straighten you use the "Straighten tool" - to remove areas around the photo you use the "crop tool"

  • How could I Import RAW  photos from sony A300 into Lightroom 1.4.1?

    How could I Import RAW photos from sony A300 into Lightroom 1.4.1?
    RAW photos files in sony A300 are saved as "*.arw".
    any one can help?

    This is well known bug. One day Adobe will recognise that with the best live view system (A350/300) and best usability (A700) they need to take the Sony DSLR's seriously.
    Use the Import function, but use "choose files". Your CF card (in Camera or reader) will just be another drive. Navigate down to the folder with the pictures - control+A, choose selected. Then choose copy to new location and import (safer than using move).
    Don't forget to tick the backup box.
    Hope this helps. Peter

  • 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?
