IPhoto 08 with PSE 4.0
I recently upgraded to Leopard and then also got iLife 08. I am a digital scrapbooker and use Photoshop Elements 4.0 in connection with iPhoto on my MacBook Pro. My question relates to iPhoto closing when I try to copy a picture into PSE . . . not sure why it closes and getting frustrated. Checked the Adobe site and found a PSE updater but can't install it . . . what's a girl to do?
AnnaRobyn:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. How are you opening the photos with PSE?
For what it's worth:
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..
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.
What version of PSE are you running and what happened when you tried to run the Adobe Photoshop Elements Updater application?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

MAC: Using iPhoto with PSE 4.0 instead of Bridge.
I'm thinking about buying PSE 4.0 for editing my digital photos on my PowerBook. Can I continue to use iPhoto 6 as my main photo organizer and then PSE 4 for just editing, and forgo using Bridge? Can I just not install Bridge, since I read it's a separate app from PSE 4.0?
Does anyone else here use iPhoto 6 and PSE 4.0 together? Thanks.You can't not install bridge, but you don't have to use it if you don't want to.
You can either set iphoto's preferences to open an image in PE with a doubleclick, or export your photos to the desktop to work on them and then reimport the edited photos. -
I am opening pics from iPhoto ... selecting edit with external editor (have set as PSE 12). After editing the pics, it will not allow me to resave the new photo back into iPhoto?? HELP!!
You must make sure that you don't see the save as window. Go to the editor preferences>saving files>on first save and set PSE to save over the existing file. That's the only way to make an iphoto version.

Another iPHOTO 11 exporting problem and glitches with PSE 9
I recently upgraded to iPHOTO 11 and PSE 9. I believe my preferences in iPHOTO are set properly for my pictures to be edited in PSE 9 (which is what I want). However, when I double click on a photo in iPHOTO it does not open in PSE 9. If I right click on the photo and select the option to edit in an external editor the photo does open in PSE9 9. Can I set up iPHOTO 11 so that double-clicking on the photo will open it up in PSE 9. With my prior versions of iPHOTO and PSE I could do that.
Most importantly, when I edit a photo in PSE 9 and save the edited photo back to iPHOTO, I am unable to export the edited photo to the SD card. Unedited photos export to the SD card just fine. Any ideas - I'm trying to load several digital frames with photos before Xmas. Thanks in advance.This may be preaching to the choir but here goes:

Photoshop elements 8 for Mac - how to move photos (events) from iphoto to pse
I have figured out how to move one photo over through opening a file. But I can't move a full event or album from iphoto. Ive tried going to bridge but when i click on the iphoto folder, it takes me into my iphoto and I'm not sure what do then, no buttons or anything that seems to connect to PSE. Any help would be appreciated! I wish Adobe supported this product better for Mac users. Maybe they read these discussions?
Hi,
Are you opening iPhoto files from within Photoshop Elements? You can open all the files in an iPhoto event into PSE8 through a single click.
In Photoshop Elements, go to File menu > Open. In the browser window that appears, click Photos under Media in the sidebar. Now, you should be able to see iPhoto with all its events. When you click on an event and "Open" it, you should get all the photos of that event in the project bin.
Is this the problem being asked?
Thanks. -
Hi,
hope some of you may give me some help.
Have tried to print with PSE 8 for Mac, but in the printing options there is none where i can choose the type of paper (ie: glossy, premium glossy....).
My printer is an Epson Stylus Photo 1400.
It works fine with iPhoto, here i can choose paper type. And prints come out fine.
Thanks for any advice,
dangerlyMy printer is a Canon so not entirely sure if this helps but when I print from PSE 8 I do not get to choose the media type until I have clicked on the print button in the PSE dialog box. I am then presented with the dialog box for my printer where I can set the media type amongs other attributes.
It is normal for the media type to be the job of the printer driver so perhaps it is the same for your printer.

IPhoto With Adobe Elements Or CS4
I'm trying to use iPhoto with Adobe Elements (and/or CS4) as my default editor.
I have the files in RAW / NEF format and I click to edit in external editor.
My goal is to save the changes I've made back into iPhoto (overwriting my old version) without saving it as an external file and reimporting it in.
I read on an IPhoto site this;
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..
Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work.
When I save the file, it saves a JPEG version in the iPhoto directory, but it doesn't show up when I go back to iPhoto. I'm also wondering why I can't save it back as a NEF file (shouldn't I do that since it's a RAW image to start)?
What's the proper way to work with iPhoto and Photoshop?
I know there are purists that seem to push to use Bridge, but i've grown to like iPhoto's features, tagging, etc. How can I do this?
Thanks..This might be of some help:

Starting up, how do I import images (in folders and albums) from iPhoto to PSE 11 without creating a chaos?
Should I un-install iPhoto afterwards?
FH-elementaryJust to make sure: you do know you can use iphoto with the PSE editor? That it's up to you whether or not to use organizer? If you do decide to go with organizer, you can either use the From iPhoto command, or follow 99jon's suggestion to export the photos from iphoto, organize them in folders and put them where you plan to keep them, and then use From Files and Folders to import them. You might as well keep iphoto even if you delete the contents of your library--there are occasions where you may still want it for a project sometime.
(nb, I don't believe that you can get images from an iphoto backup as the wording of 99jon's post seems to suggest, at least not without restoring them to iphoto and then going through the steps above, any more than you could easily add images to iphoto from a PSE backup.) -

Iphoto 11 + PSE 9 externer editor
Hi,
Because the organizer of PSE 9 is very slow, I use iphoto 11 on Mac OSx to organize my fotos. If I edit a foto with iphoto, I get one modifieded picture in iphoto. If I work with PSE 9 as an external editor, iphoto does a duplication of my foto and I get 2 fotos (original + modifieded) in iphoto. Is it possible to get one modifieded foto with PSE 9 in the organizer of iphoto with the option to get back to the original?No, this is a quirk of the current iphoto with any external editor. Most people think it's a bug, but apple evidently disagrees.

I tried to move my images (over 25,000) to an External Hard drive to open up some memory, hoping to make my computer run faster. It took three hours to move the images and I see them all in the mac's menus. However when I try to open them with iPhoto now, none appeared. and when I tried to import them back to the main HD they come in to iPhoto just fine, but not with the albums nor any of the massive organization i'd created in the original. this represents years of images, and I can't imagine that I'd have to recopy them into folders/albums again.
Terrance Devlin answered a similar question back in April of last year. He said to make sure the ExHD is formatted to MAC OS Extended (Journaled) and to move the library to the ExHD and then open iPhoto with the option button and select "Choose Library" from the resulting menu.
Command "I" tells me that the new drive is formatted correctly. I can't locate the "Choose Library" when I open iPhoto with the opt button.
First, I wondered if the application needs to be on the same drive as the Library. I sure would like to know if I can find out how to restore all the folders I had them in. Terrance's advice helped the user that had asked the question.
Here's the url for that archived discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3849933?start=0&tstart=0
Can anyone help? I'm using iPhoto 5. My MAC is an OS X version 10.4.11.
thanks, brokenlomHere are Apple's instructions:
If you are using iPhoto ’06 or earlier, you will need to follow these steps to tell iPhoto where the Library is now located:
Hold down the Option key on the keyboard and open iPhoto. Keep the Option key held down until you are prompted to create or choose an iPhoto Library.
Click Choose Library.
Locate and select the iPhoto Library in its new location.
(from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229 )
Below (in the link below) is what you should see when holding down the option key and opening iPhoto. Keep holding down the option key until this dialogue comes up. You want to select the Choose Library button.

I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong. How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?
If I understand you correctly, when you enter a date in the Adjust Date and Time window, the picture does not update with the date you enter. If that is the case then something is wrong with iPhoto or your perhaps your library.
How large a date change are you putting in? iPhoto currently has an issue with date changes beyond about 60 years at a time. If the difference between the current date on the image and the date you are entering is beyond that range that may explain why this is not working.
If that is not the case:
Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.iphoto
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: to get to the "home > library" hold down option on the keyboard and click on "Go" > "Library" while in the Finder.
Let me know the results. -

How do I resolve this error message? The iPhoto library is on a locked volume. Reopen iPhoto when you have read/write access, or reopen iPhoto with the Option key held down to choose another library.
Hi j,
I don't know if this will work, but I'd try logging in to an admin account, going to your main library (not user library), opening it, opening Application Support, selecting iPhoto, hold down the command key and press i, click on the lock in the lower left, entering the password and making sure you have Read & Write privileges for System and Admin.
