Image edited in Photoshop appears as blank white version in Aperture

I am editing images in Photoshop this way: export RAW file to ACR for adjustment. Go back to Aperture and open the same file in external editor (PSD format). Then I select the ACR version, paste it into the Aperture export, flatten, reduce to 8-bit, and save.
This works fine as long as I choose 8-bit in ACR. But when I choose 16-bit and go through exactly the same process, I end up with a blank white image in Aperture. The edited photo won't display at all.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks,
Chris

<...>
Here's the thing. When I try to go through the steps
in the action "manually", I am not able to paste the
ACR version into the Aperture PSD. What happens is I
choose select all, then copy, then close the ACR
version... and then when I go up to the "Edit" menu
to select "paste", it is greyed out. I can't for the
life of me figure out why this works in the action
but won't work when I go though it myself.
Finally, I tried re-opening the white file from
Aperture "in external editor" and it opens into
Photoshop white as well. In the layers palette the
original image (the exported version from Aperture,
not the one I adjusted from Photoshop) is clearly
visible in the background layer, with one all-white
layer on top. I imagine this is very confusing... I
hope you can make sense of it!
The last part actually made the most sense to me...
It really seems like just as you are noticing in the manual operations, something is going wrong in the process of selecting the ACR image and pasting it into the exported PSD. That all-white layer is a giveaway that something in the pasting process is going wrong in the action, and basically just creating an all-new layer that has nothing in it. My guess is if you remove that all-white layer and save the file that returning to Aperture would show you the background image from the file.
I am not sure what could be going wrong there except that it could be the process you are trying does not work well with CS, and needs CS2 to work properly. I have not tried the whole smart object approach posted earlier so I am not really sure of problems that may arise.
Have you thought about batch-converting your RAW files in Photoshop ACR to 16-bit TIFF files and importing them instead? You'll still get the same degree of flexibility in alterations you can make to the images. You can even edit these TIFF masters directly in Aperture through the Finder without going through Aperture, if you want to save a little space and avoid the creation of a new version for some Photoshop work.
You can also import 8-bit TIFF files as well but if you plan to do any alterations it's really better to work with 16-bit images from the start as it gives you the maximum ability to work with tones in an image without posterization.

Images edited in Photoshop not showing up correctly in Lightroom after saving

Hi,
I recvently got Adobe cloud and upgraded from Lightroom 3 to 4. Since the upgrade I have been having issues with Lightroom not correctly displaying images edited in Photoshop. Instead of the photoshop image it creates a new jpeg and displays that in the library. the PSD does not get loaded into the library.
I am taking a jpeg from my library and shoosing the edit in Photoshop function. I am selecting edit a copy, but have tried it with original and with edit a copy with lightroom adjustments as well with the same results.
In Photoshop I am duplicating the base layer, upscaling the image, running some filters, adding dsome adjustment layers.
I save the image in Photoshop format back to the original folder where the initial jpeg was in the Lightroom library. I save it with maximize compatibility on.
When I go back to Lightroom, the catalog displays two files, the initial jpeg and an identical copy to it, NOT the new photoshop file with alterations. If I go to the folder the images are housed in in Finder using the show in Finder command both images link to the same original jpeg. The photoshop edited file is there in the folder but does not show up in Lightroom unless I drag and drop it.
I have turned off all filters and made sure the sort is sorting by name. The image does not automatically show up in Lightroom after editing. Any suggestions?
Thanks for any help!
PS. I did search the topic and there are threads from 2007 and lightroom 2 but their solution was to start from scratch essentially and I have a carefully tagged, starred, and labeled catalog of 30,000+ images and really don't want to do that

Images that are edited in Photoshop will be displayed automatically in Lr only when the image-file saved in Photoshop is the same as the one opened from Lr.
You say you open a JPG from Lr, then edit it in PS by - among other things - adding some layers. Layers are not supported in the JPG-format so you have to either save it as a psd or as a jpg-copy.
In either case this is not the same image file as the one opened in Lr, so it will have to be imported into Lr to show up. If you would flatten your image after editing in PS and then do a <save> to your JPG - not a <save as> - it will show up in Lr.
PS: the only exception is when you open a Raw image from Lr in PS and you save it in PS in the file format specified in Lr for external editing. The saved file will automatically show in LR.

Images saved in Photoshop appear with distortion horizontally across - like a faint line

Images saved in Photoshop appear with distortion horizontally across - like a faint line.
It happens in all formates I try such as JPEG, TIFF, PDF and PSD files.
It looks like broken pixel lines across and if it runs through a word or logo can break it up.
Please help???

I know you cant see probably from the photo below as I had to try to block out the faces, but the person on the far right, under her eyes you can see almost a double eye and then if you follw that line across the 2nd person from left look like funny chin.
This distortion happens horizontally.
Also see the letter number below. That break line runs across the entire page but is obviously more noticable in different areas of the image.

What if anything have you tried to troubleshoot the blank window?
Are you using "Blank" in Safari preferefences-< General tab, as the previous poster suggested if so try their recommendation.
Please try Safari in a other user or "Test" account, to create one:
Under the Blue Apple go > System Preferences /Accounts/ Login Options use the [+] to create one, for ease you could enter test in all the fields.
You may later remove the test account by highlighting it and click on the minus[-], I keep one handy for troubleshooting; )

Importing images edited in Photoshop into Iphoto

Hi,
I tend to use Photoshop elements and bridge as my initial repository for RAW format photos. I use Bridge and Elements to select photos for editing, and storing the edited .psd file.
I also create a jpeg copy of the finished file, which I import into iPhoto. However when I do that, iPhoto uses the date that the jpeg was created, rather than the original photo date to organise into events. Any ideas how to get it to use the original photo date, which must be in the EXIF data...
Thanks

Try importing the psd file into iPhoto and see if it will retain the EXIF date. That way you can use PSE from within iPHoto to make additional edits as follows:
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.
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..

Size of images edited in Photoshop

When I select an image in Lightroom and edit it in Photoshop, the image size is 72.8M, 16 bits/channel, and 240px/in. In order to convert to a jpeg file, it is necessary to change the file to 8 bits/channel, but that reduces the size of the file to 36.4M. In order to submit my work to stock agencies, I need the file as large as possible, and up-sizing from 240px/in to 300px/in results in a loss of quality from up-sizing.
Is there anyway to have photoshop open the file at 300px/in instead of 240px/in? In other words, how can I edit an image in Photoshop at it's largest original size?

Forget file size in Megabytes. Forget PPI:
Export your file at its native size, let's say 2000 x 3000 pixels, as a TIFF or PSD. Now resample the photo to meet absurd requirements of dumb agency, and then save out as a JPEG. Then you'll have your, say 16 x 24 at 300 ppi, through PS's upsampling.

Acrobat X - Images edited in PhotoShop shift position

In A9 and previous, I would use TouchUp Object Tool, edit the pic in PhotoShop, attach a profile, save the file, and the image would update in the PDF.
When I do this now, the image shifts position. It seems to be scaling itself to fill a frame that is supposed to be cropped with a clipping path. I can't tell for sure though exactly what is going on.
I don't see a preference setting that would be causing this.
If there is no work-around for this I will have to go back to A9. I don't have access to the native files that create these PDFs and I need to be able to adjust the color.
Mac OS 10.6.8, CS 6
Sorry if there is already a thread for this but I can't see one.
Thanks
JK

Thank you for replying as nobody else did.
I've already switched back to A9.
I shouldn't have to upgrade again - I should be able to use the software I just paid for.
Sorry if that sounds rude but I can't be the only person who had that issue.

Image edited in PhotoShop returns to bottom left of PDF page

Hello,
When I open an image from my PDF in Photoshop (using the image touchup tool) and then save it, the image returns to the bottom left of my PDF instead of its original position.
I have searched the forums and knowledge base but can't seem to find a solution.
I am using Windows XP and CS2.
Can anyone help me please?
Russ Jones

If you update photoshop to 9.0.1 you will solve the problem described.

Images with news items appearing as blanks

I am using BT Yahoo - Mozilla Firefox with Windows XP professional and Service Pack 2. There is a news section on the home page but any news item accompanied with still images (e.g Chinese New Year Celebrations on Jan 22)the images are blanked out. I have tried the solution provided by cor-el but it failed.

You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
*Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
*Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
*Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
*Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Website desktop shortcut icons appear as blank white

My desktop shortcuts are plain white and do not show the correct icon which most websites provide. The shortcuts have been produced by dragging the (typical) Globe icon from the address bar whilst using Firefox.
Icons produced the same way whilst using IE do show the icons correctly.
I have tried the following:
Ensure that FireFox is the default browser.
Right click shortcut and try "Change Icon" but the only icons listed are generic MS ones.
Delete iconcache.db
FireFox / Options / Content / Advanced / Allow pages to choose their own fonts YES
Reset FireFox to default, and then checked all of the above again.
Changed screen resolution from default then back to default.
Re-named GDIPFONTCACHEV1.DAT which was automatically replaced by iconcache.db by the system.
OS is MS Windows 7 Professional.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
Inbetween each check I have closed FireFox, re-booted and re-opened FireFox.

You can check for issues with the Windows icon cache and try to rebuild the icon cache.
# Open the Task Manager (Shift+Ctrl+ESC)
# In the Process tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select End Process.
# Open the file picker via "File > New Task (Run)" and click the Browse button.
# Type or Paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local (%LocalAppData%) in the File name field (AppData is a hidden folder).
# Select the IconCache.db file and use "Delete" in the right-click context menu to delete the file.

Thank you cor-el. I have tried what you have suggested, and also tried re-naming another file in the same directory GDFONTCACHE1.DAT which I beleive has a similar function, but none of these combinations will produce an Internet shortcut icon.

LR5 and external image editing.

When editing an image or images in an external editor, such as CS5, OnOne, Nik, etc, LR5 places the images (when it works) at the end of the image sequence instead of where the origonal image came from and stacking the edited images with it. This is different than LR3 or LR4. LR5 does not seem to play well with Nik software either. After editing three images in Nik DHR Efex Pro 2 the saved image did not reapear in LR5. This was never a problem in LR4. Is there some 'tweeking' that needs to be done in LR5??

I expect that your Sort Order just needs to be changed, in order to always put the edited images next to the originals they are based on.
For example, if you sort by Capture time they will appear together - because the information about what date / time the shutter fired, is the same for all derived versions (external edit copies, virtual copies included). If you sort by date added, or date edited, then the Filmstrip and Grid view will reflect the working sequence instead.
Sorting options are on the Toolbar at the bottom of the Grid screen (above the filmstrip), press T if that is not showing. If sorting does not show up on the Toolbar, enable that using the arrow at the right hand end of the Toolbar strip.
When you edit an image into (e.g.) a Nik utility, this is basically the same as when you send an image to any other external editor: you will need to save your work to the filename that Lightroom has defined, and which LR is therefore "watching", in order for the changes made to appear back in LR.
If you fail to save into the filename which LR is aware of, your work will not appear there - and if you save into a file LR is not aware of, then it will... be unaware of that (grin)..
The only situation AFAIK where LR is going to pick up on some other ad-hoc filename and location, is when you edit into Photoshop via a compatible ACR version. In this case (only) the two products go into a specially-scripted interaction, where the image is seen at first in a "not yet saved" state, with LR kept specially "in the loop" as to what then happens - either saving the edit to a file, or else cancelling and discarding the edit.
One way to distinguish when PS is working in this specially-compatible way, rather than in the more usual way described above, is that your document window will be titled something like "document1", while an image is (so far) unsaved. But I would not expect to ever see this when a third-party utility or plugin is used.

Editing in Photoshop Elements 9 (tiff and tif)

Last week at the end I moved to Aperture. Now I've some problem when I edit with Photoshop Elements 9.
I've setted Aperture to transfer a 8 bit tiff to photoshop now Aperture tranfer a .tiff file to photoshop and when i save (not save as) photoshop save back a .tif file that obvisioly Aperture don't see..
There is a way in Aperture to set to export a .tif or in photoshop to save a .tiff; I know it is just a matter to remember to add an "f" before saving but it is so easy to forgot....

Only your camera can save as NEF. It's not even a file, really, a Raw is just the dump of the data from your camera sensor.
When you process (or edit) a Raw it has to be saved as something else - in this case a Jpeg.
You can choose tiff in the Preferences if you prefer.
But there is no way to edit a raw file and then send it, as a raw, to another editor on any system.
You can also process your Raw with a 3rd Party app like ACR or Photoshop. But iPhoto does not handle this gracefully and it's a bit of a kludge.
First off set your preferred app as an external editor in iPhoto:
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.
Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.
Next: In the iPhoto Preferences -> Advanced, elect to use Raw with your External editor:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
Now when you go to edit the Raw it will be sent to your external editor.
Now for the kludge:
You cannot save a Raw. The work you do must be output to a new file, in a new format (jepg, tiff, whatever). However, as the External Editor is making this new file iPhoto has no knowledge of its existence. Therefore you *must save it to the desktop and then import it back to iPhoto as a new file*.
This means that you will have your Original Raw and the processed version in iPhoto but they will not be recognised as version and original. iPhoto will see them as two separate shots.
Regards
TD

White Lines appear on Images in Adobe Photoshop CS3

White Lines appear on Images in Adobe Photoshop CS3
Recently discover that on three different computers, while editing images in Adobe Photoshop CS3, white lines would appear on some of the images.
For example changing a image from a .jpg to a .psd or size, or enchantment features, the white lines would appear on the image.
The lines did not appear on any of the printed images, any suggestions.
Monitor: Sony Trintron Multiscan G4110
Computer: Mac G5

>The lines did not appear on any of the printed images,
Although it is odd that three computers exhibit the same problem, and unless you can provide other coincidences (same files, same monitor, etc.), I agree. The video card is typically the culprit IF the image anomalies don't print and if they move about with each image resizing or opening of a specific image. Check to see if it's properly seated and connected. Same for monitor cable. Try swapping in another card.
One other thought: as this is a CRT monitor, what happens if you change the resolution and refresh rate? Are you using a recommended combination for that monitor?

Lightroom 5 file edited in photoshop cc 2014 does not appear back next to original after save. Is anyone else having this issue? If so what is the fix. The edited image appears back in lightroom in a new folder.

Lightroom 5 file edited in photoshop cc 2014 does not appear back next to original after save. Is anyone else having this issue? If so what is the fix. The edited image appears back in lightroom in a new folder.

I'm performing a normal "Save", not "Save As". Work flow I'm using is as follows: Select photo in Lightroom 5.7 >" Edit In" Photoshop CC 2014 > (after working on photo is PS) > Save > close PS. Photo returns to Lightroom 5.7 in a new folder rather than next to the original. Prior to purchasing the monthly plan and upgrading to PS CC 2014, I performed this same work flow using Lightroom 5.6 and Photoshop CS6 without any issues.
Just for fun... I attempted to move the edited file back into the original folder. I received a prompt that said the file already existed in the original folder, however I can't see it except the new folder that LR created. I tried several different sort orders, etc without any success.
*** Follow up: Was unable to resolve the issue using Photoshop CC 2014. Uninstalled PS CC 2014 and went back to using Photoshop CS6. Return trips from LR 5.7 to Photoshop is now performing as it should: returning edited photo back to the original folder in LR 5 and placing next to the original image.
Should anyone have a suggestion on getting Photoshop CC 2014 to do the same, I would love to be educated.
Thanks for the help, dj_paige.
