IPhoto link to Photoshop PS10

I am using iPhoto 8.1.2 on my iMac with OS X 10.6.8. I have just upgraded my Photoshop from v8 to PS10. Although I have entered PS10 in preferences as my External Editor, when I click on an image and select to edit it in my Editor, PS10 opens, but the image is not transferred from iPhoto as it used to be with PS8.  I'm going around in circles here, so could you please confirm that the image should open, and if so perhaps how to achieve this ?
There is a secondary question, and that is how on earth can you locate the original image from iPhoto in order to edit it. There must be a "Show in Finder" surely, but I canot see it. If the image does not open in the external editor it is quite a problem.
Thanks

For the issue with Elements 10:

With iPhoto v8 the Show In Finder command is available when you right click on an image. Note however that if you edit an image via this route then your changes will not be available in iPhoto and you risk damaging your Library.

  • I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

    I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

    Have you checked the ink cartridges and made sure the nozzles are clear? Are you able to print from outside of iPhoto with the correct color?
    Try the following: make temporary copy of the library and do the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • Iphoto Editing with Photoshop Elements 9

    I am going into Iphoto, clicking the Edit button and it brings up Photoshop Elements 9.  I make changes, they
    look OK so I save it.  When I get back to IPhoto, it looks like the change has been made.  However when I go
    back later in the day and click on the updated photo and there is a triangle with an exclamation point in the middle.
    This means it can't find the original.  They're all located in Iphoto, what is happening?  Why does it look like the changes
    are make and then I can't find them?

    I do use a Mac, so I don¹t think versions is an issue. I would rather
    pictures edited in PSE, which began life in iPhoto, should always be saved
    back to iPhoto, as they were in Elements 8. That is not happening. Neither
    do I know where to find pictures that PSE has saved.

    >> The save dialog sees an original and asks for permission to change it.
    If you see the save as dialog you don't have your saving files preference set
    correctly. To make versions, you must set it to Save over Original.
    However, note that there is a big ol' bug in the mac version that if you even
    open that particular preference window (even if you don't change anything
    there) PSE will no longer add file extensions when you save. When using PSE as
    external editor it doesn't matter so much, but if you ever save to the desktop
    you will need to add the file extension manually to the saved file.

  • Importing photos from iPhoto 11 into Photoshop Elements 9

    Hi,
    I am trying to import the iPhoto events into Photoshop Elements 9 Organizer. All the photos are imported into one single catalog. How do I import into separate catalogs in the Elements Organizer, just like separate events in iPhoto?

    A question for Adobe's Photoshop Elements forum, I would have thought.

  • IPhoto 11 plus Photoshop Elements 10 or Just Photoshop Elements 10?

    I am a recent convert to iMac having started with iphone and then ipad.  I now what to organise a couple of years complete unorganised photos.  I would appreciate recommendations on whether I should use iphoto 11 and photoshop elements as my external editor or just use photoshop elements 10 as both my organiser and editor? I am using Lion as my OS.
    As inferred above I have no tags, albums or libraries my photos are completely unorganised so no converting - looking at clean imports to either programme but would be interested in pros and cons of both routes suggested.  For example would using iphoto plus elements rather than just elements give me better integration with iphone 4, ipad 2 and apple TV. 
    Thanks in advance
    Mark

    You can use Photoshop Elememts 10 with iPhoto just as you can with Photoshop or any other image editor.  The organization features of Elements is essentially file/folder management and really not digital asset management like iPhoto.  If you decide to use PSE with iPhoto the following should be of some help:
    Using Photoshop CS3 or Photoshop Elements 9/10 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 edited and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9/10 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    Click to view full size
    s  I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatibility 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  iPhoto's editing mode as the default and PS/PSE  as the otpional editor  once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Edit Photos:  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.
    Click to view full size
    This way you get the best of both worlds.

  • Where can I find the download link for Photoshop Elements 6 for Macintosh?

    Hard disk crashed, need to reinstall all software including Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac.  The download link has been removed from Adobe site and support is saying I have to purchase a new license.  I already have a licensed version of this product and this version is sufficient for my needs.  Where can I find the download link?

  • Exporting links from Photoshop into a PDF (Rich Content PDF?)

    Hi there,
    I built my resume in Photoshop and typically I've been exporting to a PDF and then handling link creation within Adobe Acrobat itself. I'm wondering if there's a way to streamline this process such that links can be created within Photoshop and exported directly into the PDF file. This would save me the hassle of recreating links in Acrobat every time I modified the resume in Photoshop.
    I've read about a Rich Content PDF extension/extra that is typically located in the Extras folder. I was able to successfully locate it and have Photoshop use it, but I don't know how to get links to actually be recognized by this plugin. My original hypothesis was to use slices (designating a region as a slice and then assigning it a link), but the Rich Content PDF export option did not recognize links through slices. Is there another way to do this or another way to create links in Photoshop such that it can be exported to a PDF (either through this plugin or otherwise)?
    Thanks!

    And what program would you recommend?
    In addition, the resume is already created in the program I'm comfortable with - I'm certainly not opposed to picking up a new tool and learning how to use it, but my question specifically was simply asking if there was a way to export links from Photoshop into a PDF as that would be the most time-efficient.

  • Opening IPhoto Library in Photoshop 4.0

    I am having problems accessing the IPhoto Library through Photoshop 4.0. Before I upgraded my IPhoto the library was considered an ordinary folder but now it is "greyed" out. It seems I can only access my pictures through IPhoto itself. What should I do?

    Mianne:
    When you edit with Photoshop do you save the edited file to the desktop or to the original location. If you do the later iPhoto will not know that it's been edited and the thumbnail will not show the edit. If you want to use iPhoto as the primary editor for your iPhoto pictures then set iPhoto's General preferences like this. When you double-click on a thumbnail in iPhoto it will open that file in PS. When you've finished the edit and start to save you'll get one of these two options. Pick the one you want and proceed.
    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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • IPhoto '11 and Photoshop

    I can open photos from the iPhoto library within Photoshop's "open" command, but after I edit a photo, and save the changes, I don't see where that new photo is saved. It does not appear in iPhoto even after quitting and restarting. And if I overwrite the original, then in iPhoto, the thumbnail is still the original photo, and the changes are only seen when I preview that picture in iPhoto, which is frustrating because I don't have an overview of what pictures still need to be edited. What is the best way to edit in Photoshop, when you use iPhoto to organize your pictures?

    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • Iphoto '08 and Photoshop

    I just upgraded to Ilife '08 and now I am unable to view my iPhoto library in Photoshop. I can see the "iPhoto" file, but it is 'greyed" out and not an option I can click on. I've looked all over trying to figure out what's wrong...I can open iPhoto and click "edit" and the photo comes up in Photoshop, but I can not open anything in my iPhoto library from within Photoshop. Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance !
    Shawn

    The important part was "that's what you're supposed to do".
    Yes, it was not necessary before, but directly accessing files under the library is the main cause of problems that bring people to this forum looking for help. Now, there is an extra step to remind you of the fact that you really shouldn't be working with the files directly once they've been imported to iPhoto.
    As for other machines-and programs-most of them are probably not like iPhoto. (ie, most other programs are image viewers that don't require import and aren't based on a database that offers the photo management capabilities provided by iPhoto)
    There are already several (read 'A LOT') of posts on this board asking the same question and even more people complaining of lost or damaged photo libraries as a direct result of users messing around with the files in Finder.

  • Can anyone tell me how to get my pics from iPhoto to Adobe Photoshop Elements?

    Can anyone tell me how to get my pics in iPhoto into Adobe Photoshop Elements?

    Are you talking about iPhoto for iOS or iPhoto on your Mac?
    If iPhoto for iOS export the photo to iTunes. Then sync with your Mac and drag the photos out of the file sharing section of iTunes on your Mac. Then open them in Adobe Photoshop Elements.
    If iPhoto on your Mac then export the photos. I believe that's Menu > File > Export.
    Select export at full resolution and choose a location for the files. Once they have been exported you can open them in Adobe Photoshop Elements.
