How to remove an external editor in Aperture 3

I've searched but can't find how to remove an external editor in Aperture 3. The external editing software I was using as a trial simply didn't make the cut.

Are you sure you're talking about an external editor and not a plug-in?
When you remove the application you're using as the external editor it should no longer show up in the *Photos->Edit with* menu. There is no way, short of editing the Aperture plist file, of having it not show up in the *Preferences->External Photo Editor:* field.

How do I get Elements 12 to work as an external editor in Aperture?

I can't seem to get (my TRIAL Version) of Elements 12 to work properly as an external editor for Aperture.
Whilst I can import RAW or Jpeg images into the Elements 12 programme from my system files I can't export files from Aperture to Elements 12 from the Aperture workspace.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks

My guess would be that you chose the logical file rather than the correct file as the PSE editor. You want this one:

External Editor in Aperture

I mistakenly selected using Lightroom as an external editor in Aperture. When I go back to preferences, I can't seem to make the Edit With field blank.
Or in other words, how can I change it such that I always edit with Aperture?

Just tried with my one, Go-to Aperture > Preferences > then when box comes up select Export, it says chose external image editor then all i done was to actually select Aperture itself. It works on my one Michael. Again dont leave it blank make sure you select itself. Hope this works

How to add an external editor in iPhoto

how to add an external editor in iphoto

In case you plan toi use Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as your external this may be of help to you. The commends can apply to other editors that create layered files and save them with an extension other than .jpg.
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.

Trouble with PSE12 as External Editor in Aperture 3.3

I previously used Photoshop Elements 6 (PSE6) as my external editor in Aperture 3.3 with no problem. After having installed PSE12 and set it as the external editor in Aperture, something is amiss. When I choose a photo for external editing in PAS12, PSE12 launches but the photo never opens in PSE12. Has anyone else experienced this? Am I missing something? Should I just stick with PSE6? Thanks.....

Have you selected the PSE application or the PSE folder in the settings for the external editor? When you are setting the external editor, make sure you dive into the PS Elements Support folder, where the application is hidden.

PSE 10 as external editor for Aperture 3 - 8-bit TIFF and what color space?

Hi all,
I'm taking the plunge and trying PSE 10 as my external editor for Aperture 3. I understand that I need to export as 8-bit TIFF files (not 16) because PSE can't do certain things with 16-bit files. Is that right? Should I specify a color space in Aperture or leave it as "no profile selected"? (I don't know much about color spaces; I'm not a pro.) I print on an Epson RX580 Stylus Photo printer, if that matters.
I'll be grateful for any help and advice. Thanks.

Can I suggest you buy Philip Andrews book, Advanced Photoshop Elements 10. he explains colour spaces and much much more very clearly and exactly what can be done with 16 bit files and what you then have to change to 8 bit to accomplish. He's written basic and advanced guides for Elements since day one. Usually available from Amazon for under £20.

External editor in Aperture: How do I see the edited image in Aperture?

I used to be able to edit externally in Elements and then save/close the program and see the changes in Aperture. This does not happen anymore. I have to save the changed image (onto my desktop), and then import it into Aperture. Any suggestions how to save the file edited externally directly in Aperture? OS10.8.5, Aperture 3.4.5

I just switched that to .psd and the edited file appeared in Aperture as before.
That should not be necessary. Both tiff and psd should work. Does your external editor change the .tiff extension to .tif when saving back? Then Aperture will not recognize the file. The external editor needs to be set to save over the existing file with exactly the same filename, inclusing extension.

How to add more than 1 External Editor to Aperture 3?

I am evaluating Aperture 3...I have LR, CS4 as well as some of the editors from Nik Software e.g. Viveza, DFine...How can I add more than one of these as external editors without going into Preferences and changing Export every single time when I want to edit a photo with one of these?
Thnx

you always use ps for the external editor. To use the plug ins, you simply pick edit with plugin when you right click on a file to edit.

How to I set up PSE12 to be the external editor for Aperture - aperture is exporting the photos but they are not showing up in PSE

I want to use PSE12 as external editor for apetture . the photos are exportd but do not show up in PSE. Must be some adjustment I can't find?

The article below is for PSE 10, but should be relevant for PSE 12. I recently used the instructions for editing Aperture photos in PSE 11

Using (Parallels) PS as an external editor for Aperture

I am new to the Mac so perhaps this has already been addressed. If so, I apologize.
I am using Aperture for my photo editing and have been using PhotoShop CS5, through Parallels, as an external editor. Much to my surprise this works reasonably well most of the time although sometimes I run into a very puzzling situation.
Typically I use CS5 to take care of lens distortion since Aperture does not have that functionality built-in. I adjust an image and, if it needs perspective adjustment, I call CS5, through Parallels, convert the object into a Smart Object, Transform the object using the Distort functionality, flatten the image and save it to return to Aperture. Most of the time this works just fine. However sometimes I end up with an image that Aperture tells me it cannot open and, when I try to open it with PS again, it also fails. Sometimes the newly adjusted image just never shows up in Aperture and it is as though it dispappered into the ether.
I have tried Save and I have tried Save As using the same location specified by PS. Save normally works but sometimes fails as described above and Save As always seems to fail. Can anyone tell me what is going on here?
One more note. When the attempt to adjust the photo in CS5 fails I have tried again and again and it always seems to fail for those images. I have no idea why this should be but repeated attempts fail. I have success about 60% of the time and the rest of the time either I get an image that cannot be opened or an image that just disappers. I am using CS5 under Parallels because Adobe will not give me a license for the Mac version unless I upgrade and I would rather not pay the $200 and I don't want to end up in CC.
There are really two issues here. First, why is CS5 occasionally failing and, second, is there a good replacement for CS5 that will work with Aperture to do Perspective Adjustments. I have the trial of PTLens but CS5 is much more flexible in how it allows me to distort an image since not all my image distortions from UWA lenses are symetrical and PTLens only handles symetrical distortion.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Agreeing with 99jon, and adding that in my opinion, the only logical use of the two programs is to use the Lightroom Library Module (not the PSE Organizer) as the tool for organizing your photos, and the Lightroom Develop module as your primary editor, and the PHotoshop Elements Editor as the supplemental editor for the situation where you need more power editing than Lightroom provides.
Why? Because Lightroom is designed so that it can relatively seemlessly send photos to PSE for extra editing and receive the edited photo back from PSE.
There is no relatively seemless way to have the PSE Organizer send photos to Lightroom and receive the edited photo in return. You will do a lot of extra work to make this work. I am also very skeptical about this statement, I don't think it opens your photos in the Lightroom Develop Module, but I admit I haven't tried it: "I figured out how to configure Elements to call Lightroom to edit a picture directly. (Edit-> Preferences->Editing) WIth that setting, I can now use lightroom on my photos."

How to change primary external editor

How do I change the primary external editor to Elements 11? It was an old version of PS which I removed and had hoped that since it was no longer available, LR would look for a new one as primary. I already have my Topaz products for the additional external editor. Is it possible to have more than one? If the default choice of LR is unavailable, how do i get LR to look for new one?

Removal of Photoshop has probably left settings in the Registry (if Windows). You can set up as many external editors as you like, so if you can't get it to work as the primary editor, just set it up as another extenal editor. Adobe does have a Cleaner utility to remove old stuff after uninstall. I think there is one for CS3/4 and another for CS5/6. Why uninstallers don't do this in the first place has always puzzled me!

How to install an external editor in version 2.1.1.64 for viewing XMLType

I have a question about viewing XMLType in version 2.1.1.64
If you want to view the content of an XMLType column in a data-tab, you can double click on the particular XMLType field and the edit button appears at the end. Push this edit button and an "Edit Dialog" popup appears with the data presented as one line.
Push the External Editor button and you get a dialog that informs you about the not supported mime type of the selected object. You can find the complete list of supported mime types in Tools->Preferences->External Editor panel. I like to use an external XML editor for viewing an xmltype column, can anyone put me on the right track? Change the Editor Location for the .xml file extension didn`t work.
Kind regards,
Erwin Snippert

This is the case:
SQL Developer version 2.1.1.64
Oracle client 11gR2
Oracle Database 9.2.0.6.
Under the table tree, on the left side of the screen, a table is selected with 3 columns. One of them is a XMLType column.
Click on the data tab on the right side of the screen and a part of the xml-data is visible of that XMLType column.
Perhaps my expectations are too high, i want to see the all XML data in a structured and readable way.
I have tried to accomplish this by double clicking on the particular data in the XMLType column. This results in an pencil icon on the right side of the data.
Click on this icon and a popup window appears with the 'Edit Value' titel. This windows shows the xml data as one string, not very readable.
I have the oppurtunity to click on an 'External Editor' button. It seems to me that i can use this button to see/edit the data with an external editor.
If you click on this button, a dialog appears with the following message : 'The Mime Type of selected object is currently not supported. Please see the complete list of supported Mime Type and extension in Tools>Preferences>External Editor panel.'
I have 2 questions, perhaps you can put me in the right direction :
- Why can't SQL developer standard display XML in a structured/readable way?
- How must SQL Developer be configured to use an external editor for displaying XML data from XMLType columns?
Kind Regards, Erwin

Using Photoshop elements 6 as external editor in aperture

I am new to aperture2, have imported photos into the aperture library, from a folder on the harddrive. I have set photoshop elements as the external editor. When i select a photo for external editing i get redirected to elements, do the editing, but when i close and save the edited picture and go back to aperture, i have two of the same pictures in aperture one with two circles in the bottom left corner, one with a square with arrows in, but not the edited version. Checking in finder, the edited picture is in the folder where I imported the photos from. Am a missing a basic setting?

That sounds very strange. You should have the referenced icon in the lower right corner on the edited version as well.
Just thinking; are you using Aperture 1.x by any chance? In the previous version of Aperture the edited image was stored inside the library file, and in version 2.x the edited image is stored together with the original referenced master.
You could try to rebuild your library by holding down the "CMD + OPT"- keys when starting Aperture. Choose from the dialog.

Using photoshop elements 12 as external editor in Aperture 3.5.1

I have been using photoshop elements 12 as external editor to resize some photos and add some refinements not available in aperture....
It look like the file I send to PE becomes HUGE but is not marked as a separate version.....there is a little mark in lower right corner..
Is this correct?normal?
It is a problem, because I am also trying to use focus stacking software and it won't stack files with huge size differences...
thanks
sailmom

oh wow!
I started with a .orf (olympus omd em1) RAW file 13.73 MB...
I just right clicked to edit in photoshop elements...
so the one beside it...is 40.51.....it does not say new version but it has the "dot" on lower right.....
so I don't understand all the intricacies of this...but I am guessing sending a file out of Aperture gets a huge file in return.....
thanks!

How to remove a plug-in from aperture

How do you remove a plug-in from aperture?

You need to remove it from where it is installed. That could be one of two places.
Quit Aperture
Triple click the following to select it
/Library/Application Support/Aperture
Right click it and select Services->Open from the contextual menu. Look for the plugin. If it is there drag it to the trash or Desktop depending on if you want to get rid of it for good.
If it is not there try
~/Library/Application Support/Aperture
If not there post back wit the name of the plugin
