IPhoto creates duplicates when I click "Edit"?

I've just upgraded to iPhoto '11 and installed it on my new 15" MBP, imported my old iPhoto library, and everything seems lovely.
BUT: whenever I click "Edit in external application," iPhoto creates a duplicate of the photo, and sends the duplicate to Photoshop. When I quit photoshop, the duplicate image remains in iPhoto. This duplicate remains even if I don't make any changes in Photoshop.
Is this a new behavior? It's pretty frustrating. Any way to turn it off?

Very frustrating. I make a lot of panoramas, and I need to open four or more adjacent images at once to perform Photomerge in Photoshop. So now every time I do this, I'm going to have a whole bunch of pointless duplicates cluttering up my drive? What was the thought behind this?
Yes, I'll certainly provide feedback, and I also hope/trust Apple is reading these discussions...

  • Visual webpart disappears when i click edit page button

    I have created a visual webpart for a menu with listpicker, am able to deploy the webpart in a page, select lists using list picker and save the page. But when again when i click edit page button, the webpart disappears. and again if i add the same webpart
    in the same page, the name of webpart comes like "Visualwebpart[1]". 

    Even in wiki Page, you can make sure that it doesn't disappear.
    "When you add a web part to a wiki page, save the page BEFORE configuring the web part. If you need to add several web parts, you can add them all and then save. Once the page is saved with the web parts on it, you should be able to configure the web
    parts without any issue"

  • I have thumbnails in my iPhoto library but when I click on them the screen is black

    I have thumbnails on my iPhoto library but when I click on them the screen is black.  I have had my computer in 2-3 times for this issue and the library is corrupt, or so I was told.  This doesn't make sense since the photos are obviously in my library some where.  Any thoughts what is going on?

    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button,                         
    and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • When I click "Edit Original" in the links panel it opens MICROSOFT PAINT!

    When I click "Edit Original" with a jpeg selected in the links panel it opens Microsoft Paint! In Windows (7) the file association is Windows Picture Viewer (NOT Paint!) and in Bridge it is associated with Photoshop CC. In InDesign we have the option of choosing which program to edit linked files with. In Illustrator we are stuck with the astounding Paint! Why?? 17 versions and this still bugs me!

    Thanks Mylenium.
    I know how to change the default program associated with an extension (I would like to keep picture viewer as the default open option for JPG) but I don't know how I change the EDIT association (currently Paint for JPG) in Win 7.
    And it would be much more useful if AI could just give us the option of setting defaults (as Bridge does) OR AI could just use Bridge's defaults OR give us an "Open with" option as in Indesign. So many possible solutions, I've feature-requested this on occasions since CS1, it works in other Adobe apps, so I can only think Adobe is wilfully ignoring this issue for Irritator.

  • HT5037 I followed the above instructions and after I choose the library I want to upgrade and hit continue it wants to open my iPhoto to convert, when I click yes it just gives me the original message and sends me back to this page. Am I missing something

    I am trying to get photos off of my airport time capsule back up onto my new macbook pro. I followed the above instructions and after I choose the library I want to upgrade and hit continue it wants to open my iPhoto to convert, when I click yes it just gives me the original message and sends me back to this page. Am I missing something?

    Is your Time Capsule being used for your TimeMachine back up? Or is it simply being used as an external hard drive?
    To use a TimeMachine back up you must first restore it

  • Do iCloud and Wi-Fi auto sync create duplicates when work same time?

    Do iCloud and Wi-Fi auto sync create duplicates when work same time?
    I assume iCloud should do same that "Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi" in iTunes does.
    How do they coexist?

    Thanks for reply but somehow desagre as I just drow attention to the iTunes that Sync iCal Calendars indicates:
    quote - Your calendars are being synced with iCloud over the air. You can also choose to sync calendars with this computer. this may result in duplicated data showing on your device.

  • I have a MBP 15" with iPhoto 9. When right clicking on icon in dock 3 iPhoto libraries come up; one empty, one with 35,000 photos and one with 30,000 photos.  How can I delete the empty one and merge the other two without getting duplicates?

    You can delete the empty one by dragging it to the trash ( test everything before emptying the trash)
    Merging libraries requires iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  it is the only current solution to merging libraries

  • Why does IPhoto  create duplicates of photos and graphics that is on my Mac when I import Photostream.  I started out with 4000 photos now I have almost 28,000.  I am using new Ipad and the Mac is  running Mountain Lion

    Why does IPhoto create dupicates of photos and graphic that is on My Mac when I import the photos from Photo stream to the library?  I started out with about 4,000 photos when I transferred everything from my PC.  I use a new IPad and IPhone to take the photos.  The Mac is running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 3.1 Intel prosessor.  I am using IPhoto 11.

  • IPhoto creating duplicates on import

    I am using iPhoto 6.0.6.
    When I am adding photos to library from disk, iPhoto appears to create duplicates of some of the photos (random set, apparently) and displays the thumbnails of the original and the duplicate in the main window. One appears to be stored in the Originals folder, the other in the Modified folder, but why are both thumbnails showing up?
    I have wiped the whole library and started again with a small set of photos that I am 100% sure contains no duplicates and yet, they reappear.
    I have duplicate annihilator but it's algorithms don't recognize the dupes for some reason.

    This could happen if your camera creates 2 versions of a single shot. Does it have a setting where you get simultaneous RAW and jpeg? In that case, you would see one thumbnail for the jpeg in Originals, exactly as imported from the camera. The RAW would go into originals, as well, and a jpeg version would be created and stored in Modified. This would give the results you've seen: one matching thumbnail in each folder. Right-click (control-click) on some of these duplicates. If any have the option "Show Original File" then choose it to locate the unmodified version - you can check if you are importing RAW files from your camera. Solution - turn off this feature in your camera. iPhoto can't control it.

  • IPhoto goes black when trying to edit photos - help!

    iPhoto has suddenly decided to go black screen (where the image should be) dark when trying to edit photos.  Permissions are fine (read & edit) so that's not the issue (has been offered on mac forums as a solution to this problem in the past).  I am on a MacBook pro 2.53 Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB, running OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53).
    Any help is greatly appreciated in advance.
    Thanks!

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: 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.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Display not working when i click "edit icon"

I have 2 tables and when i click on the "edit icon" i have a list of information about that row and I can edit/delete.

    ID:
    Name:

  • When I click "edit" to manage content on a web page, I see code instead of text and images. How can I fix this?

    I edit content on www.fomh.org. Until recently, I could sign in as administrator, click "edit" in the editable area of a web page, and proceed to update text and images. I have been using Firefox to do this for several years. Now when I attempt to do this, I see all the html code in the editable area instead of the text and images.
    I am using Mac OS 10.6.8

  • How do I delete an album of pictures on my phone that won't delete when I click "Edit Albums?"

    So, my boyfriend gave me his old phone. There is an album with pictures of him and his ex girlfriend.. I want to delete them so bad, but cannot. Whenever I go to my albums and click edit, it won't let me delete the album. I've tried doing it on iTunes on my desktop, but I don't have the option to delete the album. HELP!

    MMore than likely these photos were sync from your bboyfriend or his ex computer. You won't be able to delete those pictures unless they unsync them from their computers.   You can try restoring your phone as new to remove those pics

  • IPhoto '11 duplicates when editing in external editor

    What the topic says. iPhoto automatically creates a duplicate, that actually shows up as a duplicate in the library, when you choose to edit a photo in an external editor (such as Photoshop). It used to just replace the original, thus showing only the edited version (though keeping the original file if you want to go back to it), which is exactly what happens if you choose to just edit in iPhoto.
    Bug? Feature?

    Same problem. I edit in external editor (PSE) and an edited copy shows up as well as the original. I highlite the edited copy and try to revert to original and nothing happens. I send the edited copy to the trash and empty the trash, highlite the original again and choose edit in external editor and the edited version pops up again as if I had never trashed it.
    Another annoying issue: I really don't want to mess around with slide shows but am forced to if I want to look at a photo in full screen view. iPhoto 09, full screen view meant, highlite a photo, full screen view, photo shows up in full screen. Simple and exactly what I want. Now full screen simply means the left column disappears and I'm looking at a full screen of thumb nails. What good is that? OK, so I'll play that game. Select slide show, window pops up the first time asking for slide show settings. Select classic instead of disolve and check that as the default. Every single event that window pops up asking me for slide show settings even though I have selected my defaults. I have something like 850 events and I got very annoyed selecting classic as my default every single time. And why do they imagine I want to listen to music? I clone mt hard drive once a week and have a copy of my drive with iPhoto 09 on it. I'm going back to 09.
