Iphoto 09 compatibility with Photoshop Elements 10?

I've recently upgraded from Photoshop Elements 8 to PSE 10. I'm using iphoto 09. (after all I've read I'm kind of worried about upgrading to iphoto11) While I've set my external editor in iphoto to PSE 10, the photo I choose to edit doesn't open in PSE 10. I'm getting really frustrated. Does anyone know of any conflicts between the 2? Could it be an issue with Lion? Any ideas/comments/suggestions would be welcome. Thanks.

Thanks Keith, I see you understand Exactly what's going on. I tried to choose (in iPhoto Preferences) the support" file but am unable to access it from there. Is that where you meant for me to choose it? I can find it through the Finder but don't know how to get it in iPhoto. I also noticed that Elements 10 isin a folder called MacOs- maybe it's in the wrong folder?
So glad someone actually understands the problem! Need more help though! Thx.

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.

Yosemite compatibility with photoshop element 11 ?

Do you know if upgrading from marevick to yosemite is possible with photoshop element 11 ?

It is - but many of the tools don't function properly when using a trackpad. The click and drag action doesn't work for the brush, spot healing, etc. It does work with a mouse.

Using iPhoto 08 with Photoshop elements

I am a recent Mac convert and I'm loving it.
However, I need some help understanding how best to use Photoshop Elements in conjunction with iPhoto 08. I was thinking I could use iPhoto to keep track of photos and do basic edits and link to other iLife apps etc, and use Photoshop to do more indepth editing.
I would like to know the most efficient way to open photos from inside iPhoto, into Photoshop. And how to get them back into iPhoto.
I realise I can drag a photo and create a copy on to the desk top and then open it with Photoshop, do some editing, save it to a/any folder, then import it back into iPhoto but…
1) is there a better way to do this?
2) I'm concerned with filling up my hard drive with multiple copies!
I'd be greatful for any help, Thanks

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

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.

Organise with iPhoto, Edit with Photoshop Elements, but avoid destructive editing

Hi All,
I prefer to use iPhoto as my photo organiser and for sharing to Facebook and Flickr, but I also prefer to use Photoshop Elements (v11) as my editor. iPhoto is configured to launch PSE for editing and it works fine. My question relates to doing non-destructive saves back into iPhoto. It appears as though I cannot have version control because doing a save overwrites the original file in iPhoto. Although I can chose to save an edited version of my image elsewhere on my MacBook I would prefer to have orginal and saved versions colocated. Is there anyway around this issue or do I have to use PSE Organiser to have version control?
I like being able to Flag a bunch of photos in iPhoto, go to the Flagged folder to share them, and the way iPhoto displays shared folders uploaded to Facebook and Flickr. PSE Organiser seems a bit convoluted.
Thanks.

Take a look at Aperture - with it you can have versions and many people have reported that its editing is robust enough that they seldom if ever use PS or PSE anymore - maybe that would give you the editing power you wnat with the nondestructive editing of Aperture and version control

Using iPhoto 08 with Photoshop Elements v6

I love iPhoto for organizing photos, but want to use Photoshop for editing. Does anyone know the best way to leverage both? i.e. Storing pictures in iPhoto (via external drive) and editing in Photoshop...

Easy
1 - post in the correct forum - posting iPhoto '08 questions in the iPhoto '09 forum may give you incorrect answers - this one is the same for both versions
2 - go to your iPhoto preferences and set the "edit in" preference to "external editor" and select PhotoShop Elements - now when you select edit it will open PSE and pass the photo to it - when you are done you simply save to return the photo to iPhoto and update the iPhoto database correctly
3 - If you want the option to choose PSE or iPhoto set the "edit in" back up in mail window - now selecting edit will edit in iPhoto and right clicking (control click) on a photo will give you a menu so you can choose PSE or iPhoto

Using iPhoto 11 with Photoshop Elements 10

I have just successfully purchased & loaded Elements 10 to enhance my editing/organising facility. However, when I right click on a selected photo in iPhoto and select ''Use external editor" - although it immediately loads the Elements editing workspace, it doesn't load the photo.
I've tried changing the default editing in iPhoto preferences (Advanced) to Elements 10, but again when I select Edit on the iPhoto home page, it opens up the Elements editing workspace - but not the photo!
What am I doing wrong here?
I could always drag & drop from iPhoto to Elements 10 - but I shouldn't have to do that should I ?

In the iPhoto Preferences set to Edit Photos in iPhoto.
Then if you want to use your external editor you can right click on the image and select 'Edit in External Editor'...
Best of both worlds.

Compatibility of Photoshop Elements 5 with Premiere Elements 7

I have Photoshop Elements 5 and have created an audio slideshow in it, but I was told that in order to get it to DVD that can play on things other than my PC, I'll need to get Premiere Elements. Is that right?
If so, would I be able to buy just Premiere Elements 7 and use it to do this and to do other stuff with PSE 5?
Or would I need to buy Premiere Elements 7 with Photoshop Elements 7?
Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks!

I am not 100% sure but I believe that PSE5 will only create a VCD... so will not burn to a DVD but only to a CD. Some DVD players will play VCD discs, not sure if all will.
If you buy PE7 you would need to export your slideshow in WMV format and bring this into PE7 for further work/burning.

IPhoto 11 plus Photoshop Elements 10 or Just Photoshop Elements 10?

I am a recent convert to iMac having started with iphone and then ipad. I now what to organise a couple of years complete unorganised photos. I would appreciate recommendations on whether I should use iphoto 11 and photoshop elements as my external editor or just use photoshop elements 10 as both my organiser and editor? I am using Lion as my OS.
As inferred above I have no tags, albums or libraries my photos are completely unorganised so no converting - looking at clean imports to either programme but would be interested in pros and cons of both routes suggested. For example would using iphoto plus elements rather than just elements give me better integration with iphone 4, ipad 2 and apple TV.
Thanks in advance
Mark

You can use Photoshop Elememts 10 with iPhoto just as you can with Photoshop or any other image editor. The organization features of Elements is essentially file/folder management and really not digital asset management like iPhoto. If you decide to use PSE with iPhoto the following should be of some help:
Using Photoshop CS3 or Photoshop Elements 9/10 as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's Advanced Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.

Since the .jpg is the wrong extension for those three file types an error message is generated.
However, editing .jpg files with PS in iPhoto works.

Batch Editing with Photoshop Elements 4.0

I have an folder of photos which I would like to resize as a batch with Photoshop Elements 4.0. However, I am at a loss as to how to do it and am missing a step or two in my workflow.
I would appreciate any specific step by step suggestion that you may have.
Thanks for your help.
Vernon

not for "batch editing"
You can set PSE as the external editor in the iPhoto preferences. iPhoto has the capability to directly interface with any external editor - simply go to the iPhoto preferences (iPhoto menu ==> preferences ==> General and set the Edit photo option to in external editor - select the desired external editor and you are set - now when you edit photos they are sent to the selected external editor and when you are finished editing you save (not save as) and the edited photo is returned to iPhoto, the original is maintained in iPhoto and the iPhoto database is correctly updated.
If you want the option of editing in either iPhoto or the external editor after selecting your external editor simply set the edit in back to main window - now when you right click (control Click) on a photo you will get a menu which allows you to select either.

IPhoto vs. Photoshop Elements 6

I just bought my first Mac and had no trouble using iPhoto for importing and editing my photos. I then installed Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac (with many hours of support from Adobe, after it repeatedly failed to install properly), and that program works fine now. However, I still want to use the editing features of iPhoto to make quicker and simpler adjustments to most photos rather than Elements, which takes longer to load and would be reserved for more complicated edits. The problem is that nothing happens when I open up iPhoto and try to click on a thumbnail image in my library -- no enlarged image and no ability to edit. What gives? How can the two programs coexist?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.

IPhoto 11 and Photoshop Elements

Has anyone experienced a problem running PE 8 as the editing program for iPhoto 11?
It's driving me nuts! Every time I want to edit a photo, a duplicate of the original is added to my iPhoto event. Then when I finish the edit in PE 8, close the program, go back to iPhoto, iPhoto can't read the edited photo. I get this weird thing that looks like a stop sign when I try to open the edited photo. I never had either of these issues with iPhoto 9. Help!

That's a change that Apple consciously made. Not a bug according to one user who talked with Apple engineers.
