Iphoto 11 + pse 9 editing

I have iphoto 11   pse 9 ,when I edit using pse as external editor and save simply clicking save ( not save as) when I try to reopen the photo a big black exclamtion mark appears. What's happening?

See if this info is helpful:
Using Photoshop CS3 or Photoshop Elements 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.
Click to view full size
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
Click to view full size
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 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full size
s  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:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS/PSE 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 iPhoto".  That will let you either edit in iPhoto using the Edit button or Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in iPhoto" or in PS/PSE by Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in External Editor" in the Contextual menu.

This way you get the best of both worlds.

  • How can I pull photos from iphoto into Photoshop to edit them?

  • IPhoto with PSE 12 help ...

    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.

  • When i put in a compact flash card iphoto automaticaly comes up to import my photos. I have to exit out of iphoto to use the editing softwear that i prefer to use every time. It is very annoying. How do i prevent this from happening?

    When i put in a compact flash card iphoto automaticaly comes up to import my photos. I have to exit out of iphoto to use the editing softwear that i prefer to use every time. It is very annoying. How do i prevent this from happening? I have looked in system prefereces....maybe i am over looking something, Thanks

    iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> General -> Connecting Camera opens.... And select your preferred app.
    You can also make the same choice in the Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) and Aperture preferences.

  • PSE 7(edit) not working

    I use Windows Vista and PSE 7.
    Recently when trying to open PSE 7(edit) I get a message that Adobe PSE(edit) has stopped working. It also states that " A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

    Look in the Window Event Logs to see if they have more specific information:  Start...Contol Panel...Administrative Tools...Event Viewer.  In the Event Viewer window, expand the "Windows Logs" folder in the left panel and select the "Application" log.  Look for any event with a red icon that refers to Photoshop Elements.
    Post the event's message here.

  • IPhoto to PSE 11

    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-elementary

    Just 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.)

  • How can I get iPhoto to see the edited iPhone 4s photo?

    I have a new iPhone 4s.  I take a picture. I edit it and save it to the iPhone.  Then, I sync my phone with my Mac, open iPhoto.  Only the original photos appear, not the one I edited and saved.  Yet, if I e-mail the photo to myself, I can see the edited version.  So, how do I get iPhoto to see the edited version.

    8 MP is the resolution of the camera sensor.  Images are compressed when stored so quite a bit smaller.  The compression ratio depends on the level of detail in the image.

  • Iphoto wont let me edit info

    Iphoto wont let me edit info

    Iphoto'11 Version 9.4.2
    OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)
    My iphoto library is corrupted according to the error message.
    I have tried to restore my iphoto library by deleting the iphoto library and copy it back from my timemachine, but the problem remains.
    It just happened today.
    I can scroll my photo, use "edit" function and others fairly well. But when I try to click "info" the iphoto will shut itself down immediately and show error message that says my library is corrupted.
    I have tried rebuild the database. But the problem persists.

  • Can iphoto '9 read pictures edited in iphoto '11

    I recently took some pictures for a family member.  I have iPhoto '11 and they have iPhoto '9.  I edited and burned these pics onto a DVD for her.  She can't seem to pull them up in iPhoto '9.  So the question is, can you view pics in iPhoto '9 that were edited in iphoto '11?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Yes iPhoto 09 can certainly view pics edited in 11, but it can't read the 11 Library.
    So, if you burned these to DVD using iPhoto's 'Share -> Burn'command, what you've done is burn a mini iPhoto library to disk.
    Try export the pics: File -> Export to a folder on the desktop, then burn that folder to disk with the Finder.

  • After editing a RAW image in PE13 I can't get it back into my iPhoto library. If edited in iPhoto first and sent to PE13 for adjustments, it can be sent back to iPhoto library. Ideas?

    After editing a RAW image in PE13 I can't get it back into my iPhoto library. If edited first in iPhoto, and sent to PE13 for adjustments,
    I can get it back into my iPhoto library. Ideas?

    Thanks for answering my question. I always have had RAW checked to an external editor which is PE13 on my Preferences panel in iPhoto.
    I probably didn't make myself clear. When I send an ORIGINAL RAW untouched, unedited image to PE13 and do the editing and the
    adjustments- (it looks great) and then try and SAVE it and forward it to my iPhoto library, it will not be sent. On the other hand if any editing
    at all is first performed in iPhoto and then sent to PE13 for adjustments, and I SAVE it, it asks if I want to Replace this new edited image with
    what already exists in my iPhoto library, I click REPLACE, the little wheel spins, I go to iPhoto and the new image is there. PE13 does
    accept an original RAW image for editing because it will save it in PE13 in the RECENTLY EDITED column. Ideas? I need to keep my iPhoto
    library intact. Ideas? Thanks.

  • Isn't there an easier way for iPhoto to show (Photoshop) edited RAW photos?

    Hi fellow Apple community members, below is a (very) detailed description of my problem>
    Once I'm done shooting with my Canon DSLR i auto-import my pics into iPhoto '11.
    My pics are shot in RAW format.
    I have Photoshop CS6 set as my default image editor via iPhoto.
    Once my image is edited via Photoshop i then save the image with two different methods:
    i use the "save image..." button in the Camera RAW editing window and proceed to save the image in the same location and the same as the original name in the iPhoto directory.
    The second method is to open the image as a non "Smart Object" file then proceed to save the image as a JPEG via "Save As", also in the same the location and file name as the original
    The problem is once i've done the saving of the file. iPhoto doesn't show edits done to the original photo or even show a edited copy.
    I CAN locate the edited images via the route directory within iPhoto's Finder menus.
    So i assumed if i imported those edited copies it would then show in iPhoto but no cigar - A error message pops up: "The following file could not be imported . The file is in the iPhoto Library."
    I then re-locate the edit files to another location, then import it into iPhoto and only then does it shows up in iPhoto - successfully edited.
    So my question would be...isn't there a better or easier way for iPhoto to show your edited photos without having to jump through so many hoops?

    There is no solution to this - and the same problem arises with Aperture too. The question to ask yourself is which Raw processor you want to use and then your Photos go there first.
    As Larry says, iPhoto is pretty much pointed at the shooter with a point and shoot or phone who takes snaps to share with family and friends. Pros or serious hobbyits, people shooting large volumes, people shooting Raw migrate to the more powerful apps sooner or later.
    Going forward, I would suggest that you explore apps like Lightroom and Aperture which make the Raw processing - and many other - element of Photoshop redundant. While iPhoto uses the same processing engine as Aperture it has less fine control. Photoshop for the photographer is on the way out. It's too expensive, most of its features are aimed at graphic artists rather than shooters. The future for Photographers is apps like Aperture, Lightroom with something like Elements for the odd touchups that these apps can't manage.

  • After importing my iPhoto images to Aperture, edited RAW files render strangely

    Hi,
    Yesterday I imported my iPhoto 09 library to Aperture 3. I have a problem with my RAW files (from a Sony Alpha 55). I have done some edits to these photos in iPhoto 9 and these edits did carry over to Aperture. Unfortunately the resulting image looks absolutely overly contrasted, I can fix most of it by turning down the Black Clipping, which is set to about 25% of the slider. I don't remember adding black clipping in iPhoto though.
    Maybe someone here knows about this problem?
    Jonathan

    oh, and it's iPhoto '11 not 09, sorry about that.

  • When i move my raw files from iPhoto to dpp to edit them they turn into jpegs

    when i drag & drop my raw images from iphoto into canons digital photo professional they show up as jpegs. I went to iphoto prefrences and [use RAW when using external editor ] is checked.  

    when i drag & drop my raw images from iphoto into canons digital photo professional they show up as jpegs.
    When you drag and drop from iPhoto, you are not using the export panel. "Drag and drop" will simply use the lower quality jpeg previews.
    To send your raw images to your external editor, you need to set up your Canon editor as External Editor in iPhoto.
    In the "iPhoto Preferences > Advance" set "Edit Photos in" to your Canon ..., in addition to "Use Raw photos...."
    Then, when you double click a photo to edit, it will open directly in your Canon editor.

  • Can't locate iphotos that have been edited in Photoshop

    I use iPhoto 9 to store and edit most photos, but on occasion, use Photoshop CS4 as the external editor. When I save a photo that has been edited in PS, it indicates that it is saving it to it's original iPhoto album, but when I look in the album, it's not there. Where did it go? My workflow is to option-click the photo in the iPhoto browser and select "edit in external editor". The photo then pops up in PS and I edit it. When it comes time to save, I select "save as" and rename the photo. The destination is listed as its original iPhoto album, so I press "save". The photo is saved somewhere, but I can't find it.
    Rick

    When it comes time to save, I select "save as" and rename the photo.
    'Save As' is another cause of the issue.
    Note that iPhoto sends a copy of the file to Photoshop, This copy is created by iPhoto and iPhoto tracks it and works with it. If you use Save As then you're creating a new file with Photoshop and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file.
    Iphoto is preserving your original file anyway, so the Save As is redundant.
    Don't use Save As, don't rename the file and there'll be no problem.
