Iphoto/photoshop help

i am trying to edit iphotos in photoshop 10 but am having some problems
1. when i click external editor (i have set things up as per directions), the photo comes up in photoshop in a strange (to me) screen (not the normal editing screen). at the bottom right, i click the "close image" box and i then revert to the normal editing screen.
2. after editing, i try to save the edited picture back to iphote (again having set up the elements preferences appropriately (i think) to "save over original") but what i get showing up in iphoto is another copy of the original, not the edited version.
would appreciate any help....

Can you post a screenshot of what you see when it opens? If you don't know how to do that, press command+shift+4 and drag over the area you want to capture. The screenshot appears on your desktop. Then come to the forum webpage and use the camera button above the message composition area to post it here:

RAW and Iphoto 09 help?

I recently purchased my first camera that uses RAW and I have read that Iphoto 09 helps with the RAW process. My problem is printing the pictures I have taken. I had my camera on Jpeg and tried to print but the pictures were grayer then a normal pic. I recently changed my cameras settings to RAW, so now Iphoto takes 2 images (as I read it should). So how can I print a picture from the camera in Jpeg or Raw the way I see it on screen? Do I need use another program like Apeture (plan to buy when I have the $), I have Photoshop CS, but I use that for edits mainly. I am looking for a simple way to print these nice pics. When I would "edit" the Jpeg pic in Iphoto it turns out nothing like I want on screen, since the original pic is what I want to print anyway. I tried "help" in Iphoto but was not really much help.
This whole Raw thing is new to me and I want to use it in the best way, like I use Final Cut.
Any help would be great!
Thanks,
Brent
P.S- My printer says color ink is fine, plus I do not print much in color anyway.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
You might want to Google on RAW. There’s a wealth of learning to be done on the subject. Here’s a pencil sketch.
You can only do one thing with RAW files, and that’s process them. RAW is not like other files. It’s a dump from the sensor on the camera. In the more common Point and Shoot cameras when you take a pic the camera processes the sensor dump by a predefined set of rules and saves the result as a JPEG.
What you’re now doing is creating your own set of rules for each pic. This is what you do when you edit the pic in iPhoto. The tools for doing this are on the Adjust pane.
You’re not seeing the RAW in the camera. Your seeing a jpeg preview.
As to colour matching, what colour profile have the pics and does it match what‘s on your printer?

Photoshop help will no longer display

For a long tine I have had cs2 v9 installed on my win7 64bit desktop computer.
Since yesterday the photoshop help (F1) will not display - though the bottom row icon is shown. (clicking this icon causes the mouse pointer to whirl but nothing happens).
What have I done??:- I was playing around with a string of video frames to make an animation. I was flicking backa nd forth between Photoshop and Image Ready and at one time I tried to export to Flash SWF.
I've tried restroring my computer to a time before I was messing around with the video frames, but stil cannot access Photoshop Help (either through the menu or F1).
any and all help welcome

Need Help in iPhoto '11 Help??

Hi, i have updated my iPhoto '11 to Version 9.2.1 (628). And had to lookup a topic in iPhoto '11 Help, and it says "To see all iPhoto Help, you must be connected to the Internet". Then I tested Browse Help topics, and the result I get are all the same. So I quit the application. And restarted iPhoto '11. When into iPhoto '11 Help and pick any topic to test. The same "To see all iPhoto Help, you must be connected to the Internet". But I am connected to the Internet. Can somebody assist me.

Hi & many thanks for the reply. I made sure that iPhoto is not running by looking ito Force Quit Applications window. I did 2nd time, as instructed. Just to inform you, i can see and have iCal Version 4.0.4 (1395.7) Help which connects to the internet when i invoke a help topic in iCal. I can see and have Aperture V3.2.1 Help open the Safari to connect to the Internet to show Help topics and solutions. I can access, read, and point at any Help Topics of every application i have installed and with internet connection. Maybe I maybe describing the problem as the computer says it.
When I invoke iPhoto '11 Help, I can see the iPhoto '11 Help. But once I click say "Lesson 1..." I get the message of the Help on the right pane of the Help pane...

I want to take the photos off my iPhone and put them directly onto an external hard disk. I want to bypass iPhoto altogether. When I link my iPhone to my computer, it only opens in iTunes, which only gives me the option to save my photos to iPhoto. Help!

I want to take the photos off my iPhone and put them directly onto an external hard disk - I don't have any room left on my computer. I want to bypass iPhoto altogether. When I link my iPhone to my computer, it only opens in iTunes, which only gives me the option to save my photos to iPhoto. Help! This is seriously frustrating!.
Additionally, I'd like to be able to take the 2000+ photos out of iPhoto and put them on a disk in a folder. I have managed to export them to the hard disk but it's just plonked all 2000+ photos in a list - not ideal if I want to use it for anything else. And then I have to manually delete the photos from iPhoto. Is there not a quick and easy way of dealing with this?
Anyone got any bright ideas? Thanks for your help!

I too would like to be able to do this. Just put them where i want the. IFTT a scripting app will put the images in dropbox for you , but its been pretty iffy.

Iphoto 6 help

Just upgraded to iphoto 6 and works fine except for the help topics, that for some reason keeps using iphoto 5 help ( when I click on "what's new" always shows iphoto 5 version ). Any ideas?

I had the same problem and wrote about it here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=319812&tstart=0
The solution was to clean up HelpViewer preferences and cache. Instructions for doing that are here: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/helpviewer.html
I only did steps 1-6.
Essentially, you trash the HelpViewer preference files:
com.apple.help.plist
com.apple.helpui.plist
com.apple.helpviewer.plist
Then trash Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.helpui folder.
The only side effect is as noted at www.thexlab.com:
When you next launch Help Viewer, you may notice that the Library
menu (Tiger, Panther), Home pop-up button (Tiger), or the Help
Center (Jaguar) lists Help for only a few applications. This is not a
problem. When you next launch applications that provide Help via
Help Viewer, their Help will again be listed in the Library menu or
Help Center.

I finally was successful in burning a CD of a slideshow I created in iPhoto, however, it is blurry. What is the best way to burn to a CD or DVD for clarity. Also, I realize if burned in iPhoto it will only be playable in iPhoto. Help! This is needed soon!

I finally was successful in burning a CD of a slideshow I created in iPhoto, however, it is blurry. What is the best way to burn to a CD or DVD for clarity. Also, I realize if burned in iPhoto it will only be playable in iPhoto. Help! This is needed soon for a wedding reception!

What version of iPhoto are you using? How do you plan to view the slideshow at the wedding reception, on a TV screen? If so then you will need to send the slideshow to iDVD and burn a disk from there.
If you're in iPhoto 11 and the slideshow was created in the slideshow mode and not from an album, then go to the Share menu and select iDVD. That will create a QT movie of the slideshow and import it into iDVD.
In iDVD select your theme and setup the menu as you'd like. If you want the movie to begin plahying immediately when the disk is inserted into the DVD player go into the Gallery mode and drag the movie into the Autostart bin at the left.
Click to view full size
If you want the movie to loop continuously go to the Advanced menu and select Loop.
Click to view full size
When you're finished setting upb the iDVD project save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will allow you to check it with DVD Player before tryingto burn to disk. Mount the disk imnage by double clicking on it and launch DVD Player and play. If the movie plays as you want and everything is good you can burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Would Photoshop help improve the look of my video? [was: New to this]

I agree with Mylenium. Premiere Elements would be a better program for the post-production.
As for shooting, I would use a background, as those wall plates/outlets really draw the eye. A nice piece of dark grey, non-glossy fabric, like perhaps a velvet, could be taped over the wall, behind your subject. If possible, move the subject a bit farther from any background.
Do not be afraid of composing the subject more tightly, so that one sees more of them, and less background. Even with a "talking head" shot, you can get much tighter with the framing.
I would also go for a bit more controlled lighting on your subject. Even placing a white card, or sheet to one side, just to fill in the face, would be better. Just keep it out of the coverage of the camera. A piece of foamcore, or Gator-foam, would work well. Angle it to fill that side of the subject's face.
The audio was recorded in a fairly "hard," or "live" environment. If the mic is camera-mounted, think about hanging some soft fabric, in a V, behind the camera and operator. The camera would be in the apex of the V. A few quilts would work fine. That should help remove the slight echo of the room, and "soften" the sound a bit.
Good luck, and hope those ideas help.

Iphoto 4 help replaced by iphoto 5 help

I'm using iPhoto 4.0.3 and when I go to the Help menu and select "iPhoto Help", all the information and screen shots are for iPhoto 5, which is really no help at all. How did this happen and how do I get my iPhoto 4 help back?

I have the same problem. When I search Help for "burn", it directs me to the "Share" menu. There is no "Share" menu in 4.0.3 .
There are operations specific to iPhoto 4 that I need to perform before upgrading to iPhoto 6. If I can't, then I may be stuck on iPhoto 4 for some time as I experiment with shots in the dark to find solutions.
How do I get the iPhoto 4 Help restored? Where did it go?

Where is Photoshop Help?

I can't remember the last time I used Photoshop Help because I don't use Photoshop much. Tried it today and nothing happens. My menu bar switches from Photoshop to Adobe Help Center but no Help window opens in Safari or anywhere else. Help Prefs are set to U.S. and English. I'm running CS2 and 10.4.11. Is Help not an online service? Am I supposed to be opening a pdf or inserting a DVD? Could anyone refresh my memory on how this is supposed to work? Thanks.

I seem to remember that there was an update for Help for CS2.
Check Adobe's Downloads to make sure that your CS2 programs are fully up to date.

Photoshop cs5 and cs4, photoshop help...f1 why online

Hi
i have installed on w7 photoshop cs5 and photoshop cs4
well when i try to read the manual (the help files) clicking F1 or under the menu Help-> Photoshop Help F1 ,photoshop cs5 and cs4 connect to the net
for example cs4 opens a firefox page with the help guides
cs5 opens a windows connected to internet
for example i need to know some shortcut and i have to be connected to the net
that's weird
is there a way to use the offline help? like cs3
thanks

You can download the help files as a PDF from the Photoshop Support pages.
If you want to access the offline help files from F1, you have to disconnect PS from the Internet.
If you want to turn off Community Help so that local Help opens by default, do the following:
   1. Open the Connections panel (Window > Extensions > Connections).
   2. From the Connections panel menu , select Offline Options.
   3. Select Keep Me Offline and click OK.
Note: When you disable web services from the Connections panel, all other web services (such as Adobe Kuler and Adobe ConnectNow) are also disabled.

Why can't we get Adobe Photoshop help on the weekends. If I buy it I should be able to use it.

To all frustrated Photoshop users:
As has been pointed out, the Adobe Photoshop Forum is NOT staffed by Adobe employees (though a few engineers DO stop by, when they have the time), and we are but users, such as yourself. The difference is that many users here have decades of experience with Ps, and can often solve all sorts of issues, of a technical nature.
Ranting, and listing bad experiences with Adobe Technical Support (or Customer Support), will NOT reach Adobe - just other users, who might have also had negative experiences with Adobe T/S, but who are powerless to change anything, at a corporate level - also noted by others in this thread.
We, as users, have no access to any communications that you might have had with T/S - no phone logs, no case numbers, nothing. All that we have is what YOU provide us, regarding YOUR problem. In that vein, if you read this FAQ Entry, plus the one linked in Station_Two's Reply above, and clearly state YOUR problem with the program, someone will attempt to help you with it: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4587299#4587299
Please be patient, as we are all volunteers (even the Adobe engineers come here on their own time - it's most likely not part of their job descriptions), and drop by the forum, when we have a moment. Many users DO have "day jobs," and face client deadlines. They might not get by that often, and then with breaks in timing, that can extend for days. This is not a "live chat room," where "operators are standing by." However, with the number of contributing users here, it should not take too long, before someone DOES reply to your post. If they have questions, please answer them, to the best of your abilities, and do not hesitate to ask for clarifications, if you are not sure what they are asking, or where to obtain that information. Also, please be courteous, when replying to the users, who are donating their time - they get zero, beyond the satisfaction of helping other users get answers and solutions. If they DO help, which is likely, a simple "thank you," is the best that they can receive. If they DO help, please take a moment to let them know, and also use the "Correct," and "Helpful" buttons in the forum, to let Adobe Corporate know that you got help in the Adobe Forums - they DO count those numbers, though they do not monitor these forums.
Good luck, and many feel that the help FROM the Adobe products forums, is much better, than from Adobe Technical Support.

As far as acquiring news versions goes, the only benefit you will get from owning CS4 is that you can get a Creative Cloud subscription at a special rate for the first year. https://creative.adobe.com/#plans
Otherwise, since CS4 is not in the upgrade path for CS6 products, you can purchase CS6 applications at full price.

IPhoto/Photoshop problem

I recently had to do an archive and install to get away from the dreaded 10.4.11 update and I now have a problem and I don't know whether it's with iPhoto, Photoshop or the OS. I have my iPhoto set to open in Photoshop CS and prior to the update it all worked fine. Now when I double-click on a photo it starts up Photoshop but doesn't load the file! I've tinkered with preferences in PS and iPhoto but to no avail. Anybody any ideas?

You need to re-install Photoshop.
When you did the A+I install, a part of Photoshop that's in the old System Folder got left behind. This is the bit that deals with the Applescripts that pass the pics to and from from iPhoto to Photoshop.
