IPhoto 6 & Photoshop Elements color management

Hi All - I have recently purchased and installed both iPhoto6 and P.S. Elements 3.0 so both are new to me. I'm trying to co-ordinate the color between iPhoto, PS Elements, the camera and printing. Forget printing for now. At this point I just want the pic in iPhoto (which is over saturated) and the pic opened in P.S. Elements to look the similiar color. Actually the one in P.S. Elements seems truer than iPhoto. It is not a calibration issue as the photo viewed in preview/email etc. is good.
Having read much in the forum I have tried the following and am totally frustrated - no sense fine tuning color/saturation etc. in P.S. elements only to save back into iPhoto and have it look totally different.
So, I have 1. turned off embed color in Image Capture prior to importing.
2. Turned off Add Color Sync Profile in iPhoto
3. Used no color management in P.S. Elements
4. Used embed color sync profile Camera RGC prior to import
5. Used embed color sync profile iMac prior to import.
6. Tried P.S. elements with limited color mgmt as well as full
color mgmt.
AND every combination of the above and still can't get the pic in iPhoto and P.S. Elements close to same color, saturation etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello All:
I too am experiencing the same exact thing with color shifts, saturation issues, etc. I have done a couple of things to minimize this (Unfortunately it has not totally gone away). First, I import my images with image capture without a colorsync profile added. Second, I am more careful with my camera's WB settings. With my Canon Rebel, if I have it to a cloudy setting, it automatically applies a red cast to the image in attempt to 'warm' the image. If I use the sunny setting, the problem is minimized, but not solved.
One theory I have with all of this is that perhaps Apple had introduced this color shift in order to enhance direct printing through iPhoto. In the past, I have ordered prints through iPhoto (which I believe goes to Kodak's gallery) and they were simply dull. Is it possible that these color profiles are an attempt to optimize printing with Kodak's equipment?? Just a hunch.
I hope Apple comes up with a solution fast, as iPhoto for me is just a storage tank. The whole reason why I upgraded to '06 was iPhoto's new features, which are pretty much useless.

  • IPhoto 9/Photoshop Elements compatibility

    I never used to have this problem when I had my old eMac. I can't open up photos from my iPhoto into Photoshop elements. At first I thought it was a Camera Raw compatibility problem, as Camara Raw isn't compatible with my current Nikon. However, even old photos taken on my old Canon will not open in Photoshop. I try to select and click on an image when in the "select" function and rather than anything being highlighted, the box scrolls back to the first image in my iPhoto images. It is getting very frustrating. I was able to drag and drop images to my desktop before, but now I can't even drag and drop anymore. I am not a huge tech person, but I do a lot of digital scrapbooking and not being able to simply open up the iPhoto image is now getting beyond frustrating. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am using Photoshop Elements 6.

    Try this basic fix: trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    *What's the plist file?*
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
    Then re-select Elements as your External Editor and try again.

  • How can I edit photos in iPhoto in Photoshop Elements?  I select PE in iPhoto preferences but they stay in iPhoto for editing.

    How can I edit photos in iPhoto in Photoshop Elements?  I select PE in iPhoto preferences but they stay in iPhoto for editing.

    Here's something you can try with a copy of your current library.
    1 - go to iPhoto's Events preference pane and set the auto split option to 1 day per even.
    2 - go the the Events mode, select all Events.
    3 - go to the Events menu  and and select Autosplit Selected Events.
    which will give you an event for each day.
    4 - again select all events (although it might be better do to fewer at a time) and export them to your desired destination via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export  menu option with the following settings:
    The workflow above will produce a folder for each days photos with the date as the folder's title.

  • How do I open files from an old version of iPhoto in Photoshop Elements 10 without losing date taken, camera settings etc?

    I replaced my old iMac (Tiger) and saved the library from iPhoto. I installed all the old pictures in iPhoto on the new iMac (Mt..Lion).  I received  the new Photoshop Elements 10 for Christmas, installed it,  and imported the iPhoto ligrary into PSE Organizer.  All my pictures are now in iPhoto and Photoshop Elements 10 Organizer.  The file info is available in iPhoto but all PSE 10 shows is the file size and date the pictures were transferred in.  Even worse, when I try to open a picture from iPhoto library in PSE 10 Editor I get a message saying PSE 10 "does not recognize this type file".

    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.

  • Can I FTP large photos directly from iphoto or Photoshop Elements?

    I have been uploading large jpegs onto another server using ftp plug-in with Aperture. But it strips the photo info, captions etc from the file, which is crucial information for my clients. Does any one know why this is happening, If I could ftp directly from iphoto or Photoshop elements even, it would be easier for me as I don't find aperture useful for multiple batch changes in file names and captions.
    Currently I have been editing the file names and comments in iphoto, exporting 'version name' (other wise it exports the original file name) to a folder on the desktop and then importing these files into aperture where I use a plug in AperturetoFTPpro. I do have the export version box checked and not the 'master' box - By now i've lost track of which it thinks the 'master' or 'version' is!
    not sure what's causing the problem, iphoto or aperture.
    When i look at the metadata in aperture, I can't see the captions, but if i open the same file in photoshop and do 'apple i' the info is there.

    To the best of my knowledge, there's no way to FTP directly out of iPhoto that's built into iPhoto, but you can try asking in the iPhoto forum where if anyone knows how you'll be more likely to get a response. There is a third-party product called PhotoUpLink that the developer says works with iPhoto that you could try.
    The same applies to your Aperture question; try asking in the Aperture forum, though if you're using the demo plugin that comes in the Aperture Plug-In SDK, that's really not intended to be "production quality" but rather just an example of plugin development, so it may well lack capabilities or otherwise have issues. You might take a look at PhotoUpLink or Uberload for Aperture,
    Not using Photoshop Elements I can't say about that, but Adobe runs their own forums for that here where you could ask.

  • The workings of Photoshop's color management

    Hey guys!
    I've been spending some time researching and trying to understand the workings of Photoshop's color management and come across a lot of fuzzy and contradicting information, particularly regarding the Proof Setup. I think I have figured some of it out but (for the ease of my sleep) I figured to ask a couple of direct questions just to be sure. I guess it's more of a curiosity thing.
    I'm on a Mac OS X 10.8, Photoshop CS6, calibrated standard gamut monitor, working in sRGB for web.
    1) From what I gathered, to achieve as precise color as possible on my display, all I have to do is set Working Space to sRGB or have images with embeded sRGB tag and have my calibrated monitor ICC profile loaded in the OS X. In that way, all the images and colours in Photoshop will adhere to sRGB and my calibration profile will make sure my monitor is actually displaying correct sRGB colours (to the best of it's ability anyways). Correct?
    2) I have come across a lot of 'quick tips' where people mention using the Proof Setup > Monitor RGB as a way to monitor colours for web and then I've seen people saying that's not right. From what I understand, the Monitor RGB function strips the embeded tag and ignores the working space of the image, instead showing you the RGB values in the 'native' colour space of the monitor, which in my case would be sRGB-ish. Kinda bypassing Photoshop's color management, but not the display calibration profile. Correct?
    3) When viewing an sRGB tagged image, toggling the Proof Setup: Monitor RGB on and off has absolutely no effect. Am I right in assuming that it's because the sRGB tag is getting "switched off" but since the monitor is standard gamut, the native color space is still sRGB?
    What I find weird is when I change the display profile in OS X from my calibrated one to, for example, a Generic RGB, toggling the Proof Setup: Monitor RGB has effect - the image brightness changes visibly. If my assumption above was correct, it shouldn't happen, right? Hence my confusion.
    Thanks!
    Kris

    In terms of Calibration, it's useful to keep this in mind: Calibration ideally places a device in a known, desried and repeatable state. In terms of a display, the 'ideal' calibration for most is one in which the display and the print produce a visual match. YMMV a great deal! You can calibrate a display such it doesn't produce a match quite easily, getting calibration to produce the match takes work! If any of the targets aim points (White Point, Luminance and contrast ratio) is less than ideal, the calibration doesn't produce a visual match. See: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/why_are_my_prints_too_dark.shtml
    In theory, if you didn't need to match the display to a print, you don't have to even calibrate the display for an ICC workflow. But you should <g>. You could simply profile it's current behavior which would work in an ICC workflow because you built a profile that reflects the current display conditions. The display will change over time because a display, unlike say an Epson Pro printer, is unstable and it's behavior will change over time. You need to calibrate or get that display back to it's original condition ideally. With the Epson, it's very, very stable (although I'd point out, not necessarily calibrated ideally, if we had more control over the native driver, we could 'adjust' or calibrate a more linear behavior). So with an Epson, you build a profile on top of the less than ideal driver conditions but the driver and the rest of the system is super stable and consistent. You simply need a profile to define that behavior and you're done. The printer and inks are very stable so you could also in theory place a different driver or RIP and calibrate better behavior and profile.
    I'd forget the 'calibrate' a display to sRGB on a modern LCD unit short of perhaps an Eizo or NEC SpectraView system. The sRGB color space is based upon a theoretical CRT display circa 1994 or so, with very defined primaries and conditions. There is no real 'standard' to how one can and should define the display, especially if you want to visually match a print next to the display. The illuminant used to view the print plays a huge role! So providing one set of calibration aim points and expecting all displays to produce a match is pie in the sky. Might be close, might be spot on (I wouldn’t depend on that), might be way off. All explained in the URL above. If one setting worked properly, we'd all use that one setting and calibration products wouldn’t vary from only a few presets (kind of uselss) to products like Eizo and NEC which provide a huge number of options for setting white point as just one example.

  • Help integrating iPhoto and Photoshop Elements 4

    I bought Photoshop Elements 4 and would like to use it to edit my photos from iPhoto then take them back into iPhoto. Smtr said that's what he/she does. Could someone help me set up iPhoto to do that. I am not using Adobe Bridge thanks for the info.
    Wow, PE 4 sure is powerful. Now I have a lot to do. Thanks for all the help.

    RL:
    After setting iPhoto's preferences as Terence described be sure to set PSE4's color management to the following thru the Edit->Color Settings menu option:
    If you want to be able to use both iPhoto's editor and PSE's then see the following:
    Using 2 Image Editors in iPhoto
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and a 3rd party editor without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected the 3rd party editor as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". Then when you Control-click on an image, you can select "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu to edit in your selected editor.
    And lastly, if you do any edit with PSE that causes PSE to want to change the extension to .psd, i.e. created a layered file or some of the more advanced edits, you MUST either flatten the image and force a save as a jpg file OR do a Save As to the desktop and then import the new .psd file. If you don't iPhoto will not know you did an edit and will still uses the original file.
    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.

  • Working with iphoto AND Photoshop Elements

    Hi,
    I currently use iPhoto 5 and want to begin using Photoshop Elements. I am wondering if someone could share their ideas on how to go about using both programs. Here is my objective. I think that I can get more out of my photographs but moving up to Photoshop Elements. I think that perhaps this program can make better black & white photos as well as color (has more adjustments that are capable of specific controls).
    That said, once I have finished with a photo, should I then import it into iPhoto?
    What type of work flow routines do others use when they have both of these programs?
    Thanks for any ideas!

    If I may take the opportunity to expound on this thread to incorporate my own question...
    I too wish to edit in Elements and retain iPhoto as an organization tool, but have read that saving to jpg is not the best idea. After editing and/or flattening tiff is the better option, no? Anyway, the default directory in Elements in the save as dialog I believe is to the same roll the original came from, but often after an edited jpg is saved into tiff iPhoto doesn't see it. Stoplight tells me it is there, but there is apparently something about the process that iPhoto doesn't like.
    Lori, can you be kind enough to expound on this?
    Thanks.
    ps: Tatty - I took a Elements class at a local high school and learned bunches. Alternatively www.totaltraining.com has a nice DVD available too

  • IPhoto to Photoshop Elements 4.0 (Bridge help)

    I upload all of my photos to IPhoto and organize them into albums. Sometimes I edit them in Photoshop Elements (2.0), and have had absolutely no problem in doing so. I just upgraded to Elements 4.0, which causes me to have to use Bridge to browse for my photos. The problem I am having is that not all of my pictures are viewable in Bridge. When I switch back over to ELements 2.0 I can see them all. But in Bridge it is a random sampling as far as which photos I can see and which ones I can't. If I pull the photos into Elements, I can view and alter them, so they are not corrupt files. I have tried emptying the cache, and reinstalling bridge . . . no luck. HELP!!!
    Also in Elements 4.0 my pictures look bad . . . they print out OK, but on screen they look pixelated (my word, hope you know what I mean.)
    I need to decide if Elements 4.0 is for me . . . so far, I'm not happy! I'd really appreciate some help!

    rogerskk:
    I just upgraded to Elements 4.0, which causes me to have to use Bridge to browse for my photos.
    Have to or want to? You don't have to use Bridge. You can still use iPhoto like you used to and set PSE4 at your editor or choice in iPhoto's preferences. I've tried Bridge and it's not an image management application, only a browser. iPhoto is an management tool in that it can group photos via albums, keywords, etc.

  • Can I link iPhoto with Photoshop Elements Editor?

    The new AppStore PSE Editor doesn't seem to link with iPhoto like the full version

    If you're referring to iPhoto on your Mac:
    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..

  • Loss of functionality / Can't open iPhotos in Photoshop Elements 9

    Recently installed iPhoto 11 and Photoshop Elements 9 (great app). I have noticed an iPhoto functionality loss: in iPhoto '09, Prefs --> General --> Double click photo: --> edits photo vs magnifies photo. No matter which one you picked, double click would open the photo magnified, either with either the edit tools already open, or the edit tools one click away. PSE was easiy accessible from right-click "Open in external editor." I had the best of both worlds, it was easy to go back and forth, using iPhoto for straightening, cropping, and simple repairs, and PSE for bigger operations.
    Now, "Double click photo:" has vanished. If I select "edit photo in: PSE," PSE opens when I double click, and the iPhoto tools aren't available. If I select "edit in iPhoto," I have to open PSE separately and drag my iPhoto to the PSE edit pane.
    Speaking of which: I am having a another problem opening my iPhotos in PSE9.
    When I select a photo and click "open in external editor", PSE9 opens, but the photo does not appear in the PSE9 edit pane! If I try to navigate to it, if in the PSE9 menu bar, I select File --> Open --> Nikon library, I get a dialog box than says "could not complete request because of a program error." I spent an hour on the phone with Adobe help, and the best she could come up with was to drag my photos one at a time from iPhoto to the PSE9 icon. That worked for awhile, then it stopped accepting more than one photo at a time. So no way to move objects between two photos, or use photomerge or group shot or any of those multi-photo features.
    What's going on here? Is this an iPhoto problem, or a PSE9 problem? And what to do? Thank you.

    Try removing PSE as the editor, maybe select Preview, and then go back to PSE. See if that will jumpstart it.
    I may be preaching to the choir here but here are some tips on using PSE with iPhoto:
    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.
    Click to view full size

This way you get the best of both worlds.

  • How can I get photos from iPhoto to Photoshop Elements?

    I installed Photoshop Elements 10 on my new MacBook Pro because I want to do some additional editing.  I have 800 pictures that I downloaded into iPhoto before I purchased PSE.
    How can I open the pictures in PSE?
    The instructions on the PSE website do not seem to refer to the version of iPhoto I have (the screens and menus are different.

    I used this advice and was able to open the some photos in iPhoto and edit in PSE.   I would like to save them to another file, outside iPhoto.   Is that possible?
    Sure - save As istead of save - then the edited [photo will not be in iPhoto but will be where you put it
    I would also like to open PSE and open the files from PSE, possible?
    You can - use the open command and the media browser - look in the lower left hadn corner of the open windos under media  ==> photos  ==> iPhoto - but why use iPhoto at all if you do not want your photos in iPhoto - if you do the edits this way you will not have them in iPhoto
    Perhaps I need to move the photos out of iPhoto and then open with PSE.
    Again you can do that - select the photo in iPhoto and export (file menu ==> export) and work on the exported photos - again
    but why use iPhoto at all if you do not want your photos in iPhoto - if you do the edits this way you will not have them in iPhoto
    Just now learning Mac, so I think I may still be thinking in PC.
    It is not so much Mac vs PC but database photo management vs file management - the iPhoto database structure is infinantly more powerful that an file approach like you used on a PC

  • IPhoto and Photoshop Elements 4.0

    Did a quick browse and didn't find my answer... I just purchased the PS Elements 4, and am starting to play around with it. I've noticed that when i edit a photo imported from iPhoto, i can't import it back to the iPhoto library. Now, i've been using the Bridge App to do this... is this causing the problem? Or is this simply something that can't be done. You can import out to edit, but you can't import back to iPhoto? Am i missing something?
    Thks!
    Brige

    Assuming you've set Photoshop Elements 4 as your external editor for iPhoto you simply save your edited photos in PSE 4 without changing their names or locations so they're saved back into the iPhoto library.
    If you've set things up properly you can choose to use iPhoto for editing some photos and those that require more work can be done with your external editor of choice and the edited versions can all saved back into the library.
    The information is available in iPhoto Help and online such as here:

  • IPhoto and Photoshop Elements 3

    I upgraded to iLife 06, but having issues with Photoshop Elements 3...Prior to to upgrade, all my photos remained in chronological order. For example, all my '06 photos showed as 06, the 01 for the month, and then broken down by days. Now none of that information is showing up, and the only way I can find the photos is by going back and looking at the filmstrips. Do I need to re-install PE 3 or what? This is driving me CRAZY.
    Thanks to anyone who can help,
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Hi jenn5829,
    First take a look at the screenshot so you can understand how the organization is done in the Finder with iPhoto 6.
    iPhoto 6 Library folder in the Finder
    As you can see the structure is now related to rolls. Rolls are created for each folder you import and each import session from a camera.
    It is very easy to change the names of film rolls within iPhoto to make them easier to find images within. Open the info panel in iPhoto by clicking on the "i" icon. Once it is opened, click on the roll title in the viewing window.
    Click on the word "title" in the info pane and type in your new title. I like to use a date and text format such as 12/25/05 Christmas at Mom's, 1/05/06 my birthday, etc. Once the roll names are changed within iPhoto, they are also changed within the Finder, making it easy to locate an image.
    When importing from a camera, make sure you name the roll with a date and text before the import.
    Next, you can set up PS Elements as the external editor so you don't have to search for photos in the Finder, but edit right within iPhoto.
    From the iPhoto Help menu:
    Choosing what happens when you click the Edit button
    When you want to edit a photo, you can have the photo open in iPhoto's edit view, in a separate window, in full-screen view, or in another application.
    To choose a preference:
    Choose iPhoto > Preferences.
    Click General at the top of the Preferences window.
    Under Edit Photo, select one of the following options:
    "In main window" opens the photo in the main viewing area.
    "In separate window" opens the photo in a separate window.
    "Using full screen" opens the photo in full-screen view.
    "In application" opens the photo in another application you choose.
    To open a photo in its own window when "Main window" is selected, press the Option key when double-clicking the photo.
    To open a photo in edit view when "Separate window" is selected, press the Option key when double-clicking the photo.
    Note: Any video clip you imported into iPhoto will always open in QuickTime Player when you double-click it.
    Once you set up the external editor, you can control click on an image and edit it with any of the options.
    An important thing to remember is you must "save" the image with the same name, file type and flattened. when you hit "save", the edits will be reflected within iPhoto.
    If you want to save the photo in another format, layered, etc. use "save as" and save it to the desktop. You can then import that image into iPhoto.
