IPhoto 11 and Elements 10.

Just installed iPhoto 11 and Elements 10. iPhoto does not show Elements as an external editor choice in the Preferences > Advenced pane. Only iPhoto and Preview are listed. There seems no way to select another application. What am I missing here? (iMac with 10.7)

You click on the previously selected external editor (Preview in your case) and then select the new external editor

Color discrepancies between iPhoto and Elements...

Okay, enough ******** about iPhoto ’08. I actually like it, but I have had no problems, so far. Anyway, there is something a little quirky I have been noticing: I do like the new editor in iPhoto, but I still jump between iPhoto and Elements. I have noticed that my on-screen images are generally a little lighter and with much better skin tones while viewing them in Elements. In iPhoto they are a little darker and skin tones are more red. What am I missing? Is there a setting (Color Settings in PSE, Color Sync) I should be paying attention to? It would seem to me that the image should look identical regardless of which editor I am viewing the image in.
Thanks for your thoughts…

Try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. If you're still at 10.4.9 update to 10.4.10 via the COMBO updater. Also make sure you're at the latest Quicktime version.
Next, log into another account, create a library if there is none, import a couple of photos that are showing bad in your primary account and compare. If those photos appear correct there may be some conflicting preference files in your primary account. Here's how you can weed them out if that's the case:
Trouble Shooting Preferences
Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the process again and determine if problem is fixed.
If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .
Lastly, rebuild the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.

Old Toad,
Thank you for the advice. I have done everything you have suggested, except for the updating to 10.4.10. That is not an option. It trashed 5 of my machines and I am just now getting my main machine usable again. Thank God for backups.
I have taken the worst pictures and viewed them in every photo viewing application that I have including the Finder/Finder Window in column mode, iPhoto 6 and 4, and they are as they should be. This is clearly an iPhoto 7.x issue.
Thanks again!

Macbook/iphoto and elements 10

On my Mac working in iphoto I can choose in a photo menu : edit in extern programm. The Photo opens in elements.
With the same preferences working on macbook pro, only the program elements opens and not the picture I want to edit.
is there anyone that can help me? Cisca

Check your iPhoto preferences is pointing to the Editor application and not an alias. It's usually located in the support files folder. See image below.

YIKES Photos disappeared from iPhoto AND Elements

Why are my pictures no longer appearing in my iPhoto program since I downloaded Photoshop Elements 12 to my MAC and imported all my photos? Only boundary boxes exist where the old photo used to be.
I tried restoring those files from my "Time Machine" backup, but this did not solve the problem.
ALSO...
I decided to create "catalogs" out of my folders. Perhaps this was a big mistake as I tried to do it intuitively. I selected a folder, then chose "new catalog. I found myself with a dialogue box that had no "cancel" option, so I went ahead and created a new catalog selecting some random pictures and figuring I could delete it later. Oops. WHOA! Now the only this new folder is visible. WHERE are the other picture/folders that existed prior to the creation of this new one? How can I access them? I do not have a backup of the files to restore.
Thirdly, when I WAS able to see all the media and scrolled I noticed that there are still duplicates (even though I thought I had previously and tediously deleted them). Is there a way to actually, purely and simply, delete duplicates?
Fourthly, and lastly (for now) just a comment that I was quite surprised by how many "face shots" Elements created out of a simple import. It seems that most of the photos had faces extracted and enlarged. Kinda cool, but not what I asked for.
Anyway, I'd sure like to find see the photos in tact. If you can help, I'd be most appreciative.
Thanks for listening.
Warm regards,
Zangmo

You totally rock!!! thank you, Barbara. Just ignorance of the program on my part. I knew I did not delete the originals (only a few that I did not want anyway). It seems so simple in hindsight. Problem solved, at least for elements. I need to study the manual! I appreciate you taking the time to respond.
I know where all the photos are so I wasn't too freaked out. Understanding that all is impermanent, I'll go with the flow and re-import iPhoto pictures.
Thanks a million,
Zangmo

Iphoto and elements 12

I chose the option in iphoto preferences to have edit in elements 12. Elements 12 opens right up from iphoto but says it can't recognize the file. I am using JPEG files.
I have a hard cropping in elements 12 and it is so easy in iphoto.
So I was going crop in iphoto then finish editing in elements 12.
Thanks for any help.

First of all, just to be sure, you are choosing this file as the external editor?
Assuming that's okay, is there anything about the file naming, like using forbidden characters, that may be getting in the way, like a using a period (my.pic.jpg, for example)? Slashes, dots, punctuation marks, etc. can all cause this.

Using iPhoto and editing with Photoshop Elements 4

Hello
I am new to Macs after many years using PC and I am struggling to set up my photo workflow. I shoot in RAW format and input into iPhoto from iPhoto I double click on the photo and which opens the RAW editor in Photoshop Elements. After making changes I open the file in Photoshop and then save as a TIFF.
My problem is I do not see the changed and saved file in iPhoto and if I double click on the photo again it opens back up in the RAW editor not as a TIFF.
Can any one point me in the right direction to solve this or is what I am trying to do not possible
Thanks
Grant

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
What you're trying to do is not possible.
When you save as a TIFF you create a whole new file that needs to be imported into iPhoto anew. iPhoto will track an edit as long as you stay with the same file - so, edit your jpeg in PSE and use the 'Save' command and the change is reflected in iPhoto. However, you cannot Save RAW files, it's always a Save As... and so the resulting file has to be imported.

I am considering buying an iPad 3. I have an iMac with OSX 10.6.8. On the iMac I have many photos and work with iPhoto and Photoshop Elements on the computer. Can I interchange or transfer photos and other work from the iMac to the iPad? How?

Yes you can. In iPhoto create a Album with the photos you want in it. You can drag them from your Events folder. In iTunes with your iPad connected go to Photos by cliking on your iPad. You can then select the album or events you want.

Photoshop and elements 13
Working in iPhoto
Want to edit image using photoshop elements
Did the following
IPhoto>Preferences>Advanced>Edit Photos: In drop down menu chose in Photoshop Elements
Also control click and chose edit in external editor
Drop down menu edit photos in external program>photoshop Elements
Go to to the image I'm working on --- selected the image, the clicked on edit. When nothing happened I double clicked the image. Still elements didn't open. Then I opened the Elements editor, went back to iphoto and tried the entire process again. the photo still didn't open on Elements 13 for editing.
I have 3 Elements 13 books as well as looked on line--all my references say the exact same thing ---- iPhoto>Preferences>advanced>edit in external program>photoshop Elements
I uninstalled and reinstalled both iPhoto as well as Elements.
I spoke with application technical support. There appears to be nothing wrong with my copy of iPhoto. However there is no support from Adobe. I waited for over 1.5 hours for chat support several days ago, and finally gave up.

You are probably choosing the obvious file rather than the correct file as the PSE editor. The actual editor is hidden away inside the Support Files folder. The PSE file at the top level of the PSE folder in Applications is just an alias for the welcome screen and what you're describing is exactly what happens when you choose that. You want this one:

Questions regarding iPhoto '08 and Elements 9

I would like to use iPhoto as my organizer and Elements 9 as my editor. My selected photo moves from iPhoto to Elements when I choose 'Edit', but I don't know how to move the photo back to iPhoto from the Elements editor.

Hi Barbara,
I went to PSE Preferences and changed the Saving Option to Save Over Current File. The photo did go into iPhoto in the edited version. I checked the library and the original is gone, just like I specified. This is all well and good IF I don't ever want the original version. Can it be saved without Deep Sixing the original forever (and still have it go to iPhoto upon saving it)? (Can I have my cake and eat it, too???)

How do iPhoto and Adobe Elements Organizer compare?

I just installed Photoshop Elements 13 and am curious how others compare iPhoto 11 and Adobe Elements Organizer 13 compare.

To use PSE 13 as the external editor in iPhoto be sure to select the correct file when selecting PSE from iPhoto's Advanced preference pane. It should be the Photoshop Elements Editor.app and not the Adobe Elements 13 Organizer.app. With PSE 10 the editor app was located in the Support Files folder.
With iPhoto 9 if you edit a photo with PSE and do just a Save (i.e. no layers and you're saving as jpeg) iPhoto will recognize the edit, change the thumbnail accordingly. You can do further edits with PSE on that photo or do a Revert to Original on it to get back to the original file.
However, that edited version can't be edited with iPhoto without duplicating the edited file in iPhoto and then editing the duplicate. This message comes up:

Can I bypass Iphoto and place my photos directly into Photo Elements 4

I take pictures with a Nikon D200 and I set the camera to shoot in JPEG and Raw at the same time. I would like to work with the Raw in Photo elements 4 and use my Iphoto for email. Is there a way to transfer photos directly from my camera to Elements and bypass Iphoto? It just seems as if it is a real task to export Raw images from Iphoto to Elements.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Use Image Capture by itself, turn off its preference to "Open iPhoto Automatically" Import the photos you want to go into iPhoto into another folder and then you can import them into iPhoto.
You can also use the software that came with the Nikon to download the photos to a folder.
If your camera mounts onto the desktop, you can simply drag the photos to where you want them. Set the Image Capture preference to not do anything when you plug in the camera.
You can also get a card reader that will mount directly to the desktop.
Are these enough options?
IMHO, unless PSE4 does RAW conversion much better than Apple, I would just import a single RAW into iPhoto and work with them from there. It seems to me that you will have a lot of pictures in various places on your computer.
And have more room on your card! 8^)

IPhoto and PS Elements 9

How do I move photos from iPhoto into PS Elements 9?

PSE is not a photo manager like iPhoto - it is an editor - you can set it as the external editor for iPhoto in your 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 and pse elements 9 events original and modified

Hi I am new to iphoto and adobe elements 9 so please accept my apologises if this is answered eleswhere.
I have set up iphoto with the library to store my photos and set up in prefs. to use elements as editior. I can click on edit when on a photo in either events or photos and edit with elements then save and the photo is sent back to iphoto. All this is ok. When I view my photos in either photo or event i see two photos the original and the edited one. I have follwed the path of each photo back the photo on the left for example can be revealed in finder as the original, the photo on the right can be revealed in finder as the orginal and the modified. Both orignals are revealed as the same photo so only in one place. Can I get events to only show the modified photo not both oginal and modified. The only way I can see is to hide the original. I have followed carefully all the editing instructions in the discussions and i believe to be doing this correct. As soon as I click on edit I see a duplicate photo apear then elements opens and I do my editing and then save (not save as) and the photo goes back to iphoto as modified image. To sum up I have only one original and one modified stored in iphoto but both are in events when viewing events.
Thanks for any help given.

Suggest that you delete preferences:
Preference settings control how Photoshop Elements displays images, cursors, and transparencies, saves files, uses plug‑ins and scratch disks, and so on. If the application exhibits unexpected behavior, the preferences file may be damaged. You can restore all preferences to their defaults.
Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift immediately after Photoshop Elements begins launching. Click Yes to delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements settings file.
A new preferences file is created the next time you start Photoshop Elements. For information on a specific preference option, search for the preference name in Help.

Elements, iphoto and camera raw

Hello
I have a few problems and hope someone can help me out. I installed Elements 9 (including the camera raw update), iphoto 11, Snow Leopard on my iMac. I did all of this so I can continue to shoot raw in my new camera, the Nikon D7000. I find I cannot import photos using the organizer from iphoto...it says iphoto has no media available to me... I cannot export from iphoto to Elements..I just get a blank screen. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Am I missing something? I can drag jpegs into Elements but really went through all this upgrading and purchasing so i could shoot in raw. I have camera raw 6.6 installed, and cannot even find the camera raw window in Elements. I cannot load straight from the camera or card either... thanks in advance and I really hope someone has some ideas.
Shannon

Hello Shannon,
Let me clarify a few things based on what you have said so far.
First, the latest version of the Camera Raw plug-in is 6.3. By 6.6, I imagine you are referring to your version of the Mac OS: 10.6.6 (which is the latest version).
Second, in order to import images directly from your iPhoto '11 catalog into your Elements Organizer 9 catalog, you have to have the 9.0.2 update installed.
I refer you to the following documentation for further details:
Use Photoshop Elements 9.0 with iPhoto | Mac OS

IPhoto and Adobe photoshop elements 4.0

I recently downloaded adobe so that I could do more editing with my photos then iPhoto would allow. However, now I don't have access to my photos so that I can put them in slide shows with iHD or iDVD. They don't show up in iPhoto and I can't get them to import into iPhoto from Adobe. What do I need to do to fix this problem?

To expand on Terence's post a bit, if you use PSE as your editor of choice in iPhoto via iPhoto's preferences and edit a file it may be changed to a psd file during the Save process. You'll be presented with the navigation save window in PS. If that occurs you can take one of two routes:
1 - navigate to the Desktop and save the psd file as a new file and then import it into iPhoto.
2 - cancel the save, to to the Layers pane and flatten the image. Then save as a jpg. You'll get the smaller save window where you select the quality of the jpg and the type of format, Baseline, Baseline Optimized or Progressive) You'll want to choose Baseline. If you select this type of save the edited version will be saved in the Modified folder and the thumbnail will be updated as it should.
Do you Twango?
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
