In iPhoto the option to edit in photoshop elements  has vanished

The option in iPhoto>pref>advanced>Edit in>Iphoto or PSE (Photshop Elements) has vanished!! My only option now is to edit in iPhoto or iPhoto library!! I usually edit my RAW files in ACR which has always opened when I hit edit in IPhoto,,,
Help!! Does anyone know what to do???

I may be preaching to the choir but here are some tips on using PSE from within iPhoto:
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.

  • The option to edit in Photoshop from lightroom is grey out.

    I'm on a PC, been editing photos in lightroom. Just downloaded some photoshop presets. Edited some photos using the presets. Now when I go to edit photos using the photos/edit in...all options are greyed out. I've restarted my compute, updated both lightroom and photoshop (I have latest versions) talked online to Adobe support person and did all sorts of "stuff" beyond my level of understanding. Still doesn't work.  Sometimes the options are back in black and look like its going to work, but then photoshop doesn't open, and then the options turn to greyed out again. Please help!

  • IPhoto 6 Problem when editing using Photoshop Elements 3.0

    Please can someone help. If I edit a photo in photoshop elements 3.0 from iPhoto and then click the save button I get an option box that requires the quality and save settings. I've selected the best quality but I then have a choice of saving in base standard, base optimised or progressive. If I choose any of these options, when I go back into iPhoto the skin tones etc. have changed (they have a more reddish look about them)on that picture. Please can someone advise me how to save without it altering the colour of my photos. Editing in iPhoto doesn't effect the colour at all.

    Helloson:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It's not that setting (I use Base Standard) but the fact that PE3 may be adding a color profile to the file that is different to what was there originally. Go to the Photoshop Elements menu and select Color Settings... option. There you can set it to have "No color management". (I'm running PE2 so the menu selections may be different than PE3). Then see if that will make a difference.
    Do you Twango?

  • "Edit in Photoshop Elements" an Option in Development Module?

    In viewing the tutorials for Lightroom (while considering whether to purchase it), I noted that there was integration with PS CS2 (and soon, CS3) and that it works like this: In the "Develop" module select "Photo," then "Edit in Photoshop CS2;" the key here is that once editing in CS2 is complete the saved edits are automatically incorporated back into the Lightroom Library. Because I don't have, and may never need, CS2 (or CS3) along with Lightroom (if I get it) I'd hope that the exact same integration is possible with Photoshop Elements 5. So my question is simple: If PSE 5 is installed along with Lightroom will "Develop" and "Photo" include an option for "Edit in Photoshop Elements 5" and have the same automatic integration with the Lightroom Library? (Or, if PSE 5 is not a listed option but is accessible through the "edit with other" option, will the saved file still be integrated automatically into the Lightroom Library?)
    Thanks. (And I did search the forum for this answer; sorry if it was there and I missed it.)

    I had a demo copy of elements on my system when I installed the beta version of LR. Along side that I had my old and trusty PS 7.LR found PS7
    and I set up Elements as a second option for editing. I bought LR and installed it over the beta version.From then on I was given the option to import from Elements in the file menu.PS7 was greyed outwhen I checked to see if I could still edit under PS7.
    The demo of Elements expired so I uninstalled it.LR still offers me the option to import from Elements. I have tried the registry hack and all looks well but it is still grayed out in LR and it still "sees" a program which is no longer on my system. I have had a good look around the system including the registry for remnants of Elements that might still be around but cant see any.
    Anyway it seems to me that LR can find Elements if it wants to even if it isnt't there and as I have said elsewhere on this forum, why do we have to hack the registry to get some parts this program to work? Adobe need to sort this and all the other bugs out. They owe it to all of us who have paid good money to them for what seems to be a poorly finished product.

  • Movable elements of a layer - option "free transform" in Photoshop Elements 7

    Hello,
    I hope that someone can help a little bit and answer my questions. Thank you.
    Description of the task:
    I want to create a tool which is able to visualize the positions of pieces on a game board. At the moment I'm using Photoshop Elements 7.
    I think the following procedure would be appropriate:
    2 layers, the basic layer would show the game board and the images of the pieces would be on the second layer. If I try to do that with Photoshop Elements 7 then each time when I insert an image of a piece a new layer is created. I don't need a layer per figure. Yes, one could reduce a layer afterwards. But it's not so comfortable this way.
    In addition the images of the pieces should be movable on the game board. There is the option "free transform" in Photoshop Elements 7 but only one element (one piece) is movable afterwards. All the inserted elements should be movable.
    So my question: Is it feasible within Photoshop Elements 7? If not, which version of Photoshop Elements would be adequate or which software do I need? 

      After adding each piece use the to menu:
    Layer >> Merge Down
    However you will only be able to move all the pieces together. You need separate layers to move the pieces individually.

  • How can i save my importing photos in iPhoto but edit in photoshop elements 11?

    how can i save my importing photos in iPhoto but edit in photoshop elements 11?

    You have two options:
    1. Set PSE as your external editor for iphoto and send the photos from iphoto. Save (not Save As) without changing the name or format and iPhoto will remember the original + the last edited version. (To get back to the original you will have to lose the edits, though.)
    2. Export the photos from iphoto, work on the copies, make all the changes you want to name and format and then reimport the edited versions to iphoto as new files. This lets you save as many different versions as you like.

  • My user account on my MacBook Pro isn't giving me the option of 'edit picture'. How can I solve this problem?

    So basically, I recently got a MacBook Pro, and the first thing I did when I got it, was set up my user account. However, I soon noticed that the only options for a user account icon were icons that my MacBook came with (flowers, footballs, piano etc.) or if I took a picture with my webcam. I know that I'm supposed to have an option of selecting a picture from my iPhoto library etc. but my mac isn't letting me do that. It's not giving me the option of 'edit picture' which I know directs you to your photo library.
    <---- see, the 'edit' button doesn't highlight unless I click on a picture.
    I'd appreciate it if someone could help.... thanks a lot!

    You don't have to do it that way. All you need do is click on the image then click on this icon:
    This is the Edit symbol, apparently.

  • Can I select multiple photos from iPhoto to edit in Photoshop Elements?

    From iPhoto I am wanting to select all the photos from an event or album to edit in Photoshop Elements to avoid having to switch back and forth between the two. I have PSE set up as the external editor in iPhoto. When I have the photos selected in iPhoto and click the edit button, the most photos that will show in the PSE project bin is 4. I can go back to iPhoto and select more and they will be added to the existing photos in the project bin, but again I am trying to avoid having to go back and forth, and want to be able to edit one event/album in one sitting. I've tried highlighting each individual photo within an event, and also just the event, but still the max is 4 photos. It seems when I did this a couple months ago it worked fine, but since it is not doing it now I am questioning whether I imagined the whole thing! Is there a way to have more than 4 photos at a time? Thanks in advance for all help provided.

    Hi, cyndy. Welcome to the discussions. No, 4 is the largest number you can send to PSE at one time. (This is an iphoto limitation, incidentally, not a PSE limitation.)

  • Iphoto Editing with Photoshop Elements 9

    I am going into Iphoto, clicking the Edit button and it brings up Photoshop Elements 9.  I make changes, they
    look OK so I save it.  When I get back to IPhoto, it looks like the change has been made.  However when I go
    back later in the day and click on the updated photo and there is a triangle with an exclamation point in the middle.
    This means it can't find the original.  They're all located in Iphoto, what is happening?  Why does it look like the changes
    are make and then I can't find them?

    I do use a Mac, so I don¹t think versions is an issue. I would rather
    pictures edited in PSE, which began life in iPhoto, should always be saved
    back to iPhoto, as they were in Elements 8. That is not happening. Neither
    do I know where to find pictures that PSE has saved.

    >> The save dialog sees an original and asks for permission to change it.
    If you see the save as dialog you don't have your saving files preference set
    correctly. To make versions, you must set it to Save over Original.
    However, note that there is a big ol' bug in the mac version that if you even
    open that particular preference window (even if you don't change anything
    there) PSE will no longer add file extensions when you save. When using PSE as
    external editor it doesn't matter so much, but if you ever save to the desktop
    you will need to add the file extension manually to the saved file.

  • I cannot open photo's stored in my i photo library to edit in Photoshop Elements.  Adobe comes up with the message program error. I use a Macbook Air.

    I cannot open photo's stored in my i photo library to edit in Photoshop Elements.  Adobe comes up with the message program error. I use a Macbook Air.

    No, that is done deliberately, since letting other programs poke around in the iphoto library is the fastest known way to corrupt it and make it wither up and die, along with your photos. If you want to use PSE with iphoto you have two choices:
    1. Set PSE as your external editor and send the photos from iphoto. Edit them, then save without changing the name or format and iphoto will remember your last saved edits + original, although you have to lose the edits to see the original again. You may need to set the editor prefs>saving files>on first save to save over existing to make this work.
    2. Export the photos from iphoto, use file>open in PSE, make all the changes of any sort that you like, save the file, and import it to iphoto as a new file.

  • Design option missing for Fluid Grid layouts (was:In dreamweaver CC, I created a new fluid grid page, but the options to edit the page...)

    Hi, in dreamweaver CC, I created a new fluid grid page, but the options to edit the page are limited to code / split / live. The design optin is missing and I need it to move around the fluid grid to position my elements that I have created.
    Thanks

    Hi Raymi,
    Like Ben suggested, you can vote for the feature using the link provided.  From what I understand, the product team is collecting feedback on the limitations of Live View for FG layouts and improving experience on that front. It would help if you could provide a list of limitations with the current workflow.

  • Right clicking the star of an already bookmarked site does NOT bring up the option to edit the bookmark to put it into a chosen location as described in Helpl

    The option to edit the bookmarks is missing from my current version 29.0.1. Right clicking the star
    produces a menu but not the one described in Help.
    Move to Menu
    Remove from Toolbar
    Menu Bar
    Bookmarks Toolbar
    Customize

    This question was about clicking the star on the Navigation Toolbar to edit the bookmark.
    You need the left-click the highlighted star button to edit the bookmark because a right-click opens the toolbar context menu.
    You can right-click a bookmark in other places like on the Bookmarks Toolbar or in the sidebar and in the Bookmarks Manager (Library) to edit the Properties.
