IPhoto + Photoshop how to sort /use both (workflow needed)

Hello, I love IPhoto for viewing and Photoshop CS2 for editing. However it seems since Iphoto will only import photos into the IPhoto library I have a problem with control over the folders and files.
How are other people using the two together?
For example I like to keep my originals in one folder. Go there and make edits and save in another folder.
I would like to open IPhoto and point it to only all my edits for viewing and creating slideshow ect.
But then on another day open it and then point it to only my orginals so i can choose what pictures to edit again
Is there another program like Picasso that is just a good viewer that doesn’t need to touch the folder structure I already have, or know a good workflow?

I use Photoshop exclusively for all my editing from within iPhoto. But you have to live with iPhoto's folder system: iPhoto Library Description. To use PS from within iPhoto go to iPhoto's preferences and in the General Pane under the Double-click photo section select "Opens photo in:" Then navigate to PS and select it.
Now when you double click on a photo PS will open and you can edit. The only caveat to that is if you create a layered or otherwise edited file that requires converting to ".psd" you must save it to the desktop and import it back into iPhoto. From then on you can edit and save all you want. To just save it into the folder where the original file was opened is tantamount to committing the cardinal sin of iPhoto: Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder.
If you want to use both PS and Apple and don't want to have to click on the Edit button go get into the iPhoto edit mode you can just reselect the Changes to edit view in the preferences and then Control-click on the photo and select "Edit in external editor". That way you can have the best of both worlds at your fingertips.

    How can I use both, Windows PC and iMac, when using WiFi?. It is either-or. What can I do?

    What does this have to do with using an iPad?
    But yes, you should be able to connect to your home WiFi network with multiple computers and devices. In my house my wife, my daughter and I will all be using the WiFi Internet connection at the same time with our Laptops and I will also be using my iPad, my daughter uses her iPhone, and we have no issues at all.
    Is this what you want to know about?

    You can use Parallels desktop or VM Fusion to run both operating systems at the same time. Both programs work well, but I personally perfer VM Fusion.

  • I have two script. one for indesign and another for photoshop. how can i merge both scripts?

    hi all,
    i have one script for indd which convert a user selected table as JPG (1276 px width, height varies). Second photoshop script which ask user to select jpg file and then check if pixel height is less than 1018 pixel, then it enlarge canvas size(height) to 1018 px.
    how can i combine both script, any tip or how to start would be helpful? The workflow should be:
    user select the table in indd document
    table export as jpg
    script will ask to select table jpg file or if it can be automated too that would be good.
    enlarge canvas height to 1018 px
    thanks

    PS: i already read the Java scirpt tool guide pdf but unable to understood

    Hi,
    I see two possible approaches here. The most logical would be to use a BridgeTalk Object that let you execute another app js code inside yoru primary app. In your case, you start your script from within InDesign and at some point the Photoshop specific script is executed thanks to the BridgeTalk Object.
    Other option is to use either AppleScrip or VB to execute the codes while targeting the specific app.
    Eventually, you may have your PS code in some external file and call $.evalFile when of course the file has a target instuction as Peter exposed.
    Once again, I think what you need is BridgeTalk.
    FWIW,
    Loic

  • How can i use both speakers with 2 displays

    i am using 2 27" displays with my powermac but the sound only comes out of one.  does anyone know how i can have the sound come from both display?
    also, does anyone know how i can control which camera is being accessed by iphoto.
    thanks.

    For the audio you most likely need to use Audio MIDI Setup (in your Utilities folder) and create an "Aggregate Device".  This doc might help.
    I don't have an answer for the camera question.

  • Imac with 2 users/Itunes accounts, how can I use both on Apple TV?

    We have 2 users on my Mac desktop and each have separate Itunes accounts. How can I get both to work on Apple TV?

    We both login into the same Imac with our own user names and passwords,
    and both have separate I-Tunes accounts under each of our user names and passwords,
    The ATV works great with my account and login,
    but I don't/can't see how to change login on ATV to let her stream her Itunes account on ATV
    She logs into her Itunes account on the IMac but ATV doesn't see her,
    do I have to reset the ATV completely and set up again everytime we want to use our individual Itunes on ATV?

  • I have macbook pro w existing iPhoto library. Now have Canon printer and loaded Canon software for same. Cannot access iPhoto library from Canon software, but prints fine from iPhoto. How can I use iPhoto library w Canon software?

    I have a macbook pro w exisitng iPhoto library. I now have Canon printer and loaded Canon software for same. I cannot access iPhoto library for use from Canon software. I can print from iPhoto directly to new printer without problem. How can I use iPhoto library with Canon software? I would like to try the software to see which I prefer...

    Simply export some photos from iPhoto to a folder on the desktop and experiment.
    Without telling us even what this program is, not to mind what it does, that's the best anyone can suggest.

  • I have 2 accounts with iTunes at same address how do I use both accounts on both my iPad 1 and I pad 2

    I have 2 iTunes accounts at the same address and have 2 iPads 1 and 2 and wish to use both accounts to buy apps for both iPads

    On the iPad you can switch between the two accounts by logging out of one (Settings > Store and tapping the account id on the right-hand side) and then logging in with the other account so that you can then buy with that account. Only one account can be logged in at any one time, so if you are buying apps with two accounts when an app gets an update in the store you will only be able to download that update via the account that originally bought/downloaded it. With the currently logged in account you can also download past app purchases from that account via the Purchased tab at the bottom of the App Store app.
    Similarly on your computer's iTunes you have can both accounts authorised (Store > Authorise This Computer), but only only can be logged in at a time for purchasing new content (Store > Sign Out then Store > Sign In)

  • How do I use both a GUI switch and a timer to control an output?

    Hi, I have no trouble setting up either a gui switch or a timer to switch a hardware output. However, now I am trying to use both to control the same output. That is, the latest change of either the timer or gui switch changes the output. I can do this by setting the gui switch output and the timer output into a software latch and connecting the latch to the hardware. The problem is that now the gui switch does not reflect the state of the hardware output (if the timer changed the state). One solution I can see is that there is both a push button 'change state' as well as an indicator at the gui but I would rather have all the functionality in the 1 switch. Any suggestions welcome!

    It looks like you should be using a flip-flop object. This object changes state each time your input transitions from false to true. Also you would probably be better off using a push button rather tham a switch.
    You can tie "your timer OR your pushbutton" to the input of your flip-flop. Then if you display the flip-flop on top of the push button you can easily see which state you are in. Then of course just tie your flip-flop to your output.
    **This will work fine as long as you are NOT running multiple client applications. If you are running multiple clients, then it has to be done completely different. If this is the case please let me know and I will explain.
    Hope this helps

  • How do i use both ssd and hdd drives on macbook pro together

    have a mid 2012 macbook pro 15 inch. I replaced hdd drive with ssd drive and put hdd drive in optic bay. Was wondering what the best way to use both together is

    Use your SSD for your system, applications, working projects, as a scratch disk (if you're editing photos or video, for example) and you can use the HD to store you user files (Documents) and infrequently accessed files.
    The only disadvantage that I see with a setup like yours is backups. You can use clones to backup both drives, and Time Machine to - at least - backup your boot drive, but you're going to run the risk of losing data if you don't clone your HD. That's a minimum of two clones for one computer (I shouldn't be one to be talking about excessive clones, though, as I keep three clones of my SSD, one clone of my 2TB 'working' drive, and two Time Machine backups of my SSD).
    But that's the way I'd treat the drive in the opti-bay - just as an 'internal' external drive.

  • How do I use both a theme and a persona picture together?

    I managed this before but when I recently changed my persona I lost the theme too and was stuck with only the default theme. How can i combine the new persona and my favourite noia theme? Thanks.
    Im using firefox which is up to date and mac os x.

    That is only possible if the theme allows that by specifying the skinnable flag (&lt;em:skinnable>true&lt;/em:skinnable&gt;) in its install.rdf file.<br />
    If that flag is missing then it isn't possible to combine the theme with a persona.

  • I have a work Itunes and a home Itunes how can I use both with my Iphone?

    I have an Itunes on my work computer and another on my home, but my new Iphone will only allow me to add music from one of the Itunes.  I have purchased music on both Itunes how can I get this to work?

    You can only sync with one computer. If you have the same account on both computers you can transfer all of your purchased music to one of them, then sync with that one.

  • How do I use both a dtd and schema during parsing?

    Hi
    I have this akward problem. I have created at schema for or DOM parser to validate up against. Thats all fine. The problem arise when I want to use entities in the xml like &aelig; &aring; which are special html esc. sequences for danish letters.
    Then I found this dtd from w3c: xhtml-lat1.ent, that does the trick of declaring these entities.
    The problem is! How do I incorporate this dtd in the schema so I dont have to reference it in all my xml documents. I tried with the <!DOCTYPE ...> declaration as follows: <!DOCTYPE xs:schema PUBLIC "-//W3C//ENTITIES Latin 1 for XHTML//EN" "http://legolas.dsb.dk:4520/mille/integration/xsd/xhtml-lat1.ent">
    which onfortunatly dosnt work. The parser takes the DTD instead of the schema when validating and is now not able to find any of the entities declared in the XML schema.
    How to resolve this problem?
    Kind regards
    Michael Nielsen

    Include DTD with the include tag:
    <xs:include schemaLocation="http://legolas.dsb.dk:4520/mille/integration/xsd/xhtml-lat1.ent"/>
