IPhoto does not update pictures

Question

Any pictures I change in an external editor, I saved it as the orginal file would update in iPhoto, i.e. the picture would change to reflect the changes.
In 6, it does not, if you select it and go full screen the corrected image will show, but in the main window it remains as the old picture.
Is there a fix for this?

Gary:
To have iPhoto recognize edits made my a 3rd party editor like Photoshop Elements you must set iPhoto's preferences (in the General section) to open that 3rd party editor when you double click on the thumbnail. Then if you edit and save with the same file name and extension iPhoto will recognize the edit, both in the media window and in the thumbnail window. If you create a layered file or do an edit that requires a different extension you must either flatten the file and save in the original format or save to the desktop and import the new file.
If you want to have both the 3rd party editor and iPhoto's without having to go into the preferences each time just set the preferences back, to edit in the main window. Then when you want to use the 3rd party editor just Control-click on the thumbnail and select Open in external editor from the drop down menu. That way you can have the best of both worlds.
