IPhoto & Photoshop

I just installed Photoshop CS3. Now I can't access any images in iPhoto by either double-clicking on an imagge or trying to open from iPhoto. Can't I do either at will?

booted a couple of times and problem disappeared

  • 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.

  • Import photos iPhoto - Photoshop Elements

    Hello,
    I'm using Photoshop Elements 12 trial version. I would buy it but i got one problem with the automatic import function in Photoshop Elements.
    On the first start of Photoshop Elements, it asked me if I want to import all my photos from iPhoto. So I did import all photos.
    In iPhoto my photos have been organizes like this:
    > April (folder)
    > Mai (folder)
         - Wohnung (event)
         - Exkursion Werder (event)
    > Juni (folder)
    > Juli (folder)
          - Exkursion Schweiz (event)
    But now in Photoshop I got this:
    > 20110908-192729 (folder)
    > 20110908-192733 (folder)
    > ... (and so on)
    Is this really the way Photoshop Elements imports all my photos? Do I really have to organize all my thousands of photos again?

    I wanted to use Photoshop Elements Organizer and Editor only and not continue to use iPhoto because it’s very slow.
    Do you think it would be easier if I just continue to use iPhoto as the Organizer and use Photoshop Elements Editor as the editor?
    Seems there is no way to import iPhoto albums and events to Photoshop Elements Organizer.

    First of all, are you certain you want to ditch iphoto permanently? It's not necessary to do that unless you wish. So are you sure that you no longer want iphoto at all?

  • IPhoto & Photoshop Elements 4

    Hi all
    I escaped from the Windows world a few weeks ago, but finding the combination of iPhoto '08 and Photoshop Elements 4 (PSE) not very intuitive and intially appears to be clumsy when opening files - not a very efficient workflow wise when compared to the same software in a Windows XP environment
    Completely confused on opening photographic files and where they are being stored as one editor can see files whilst the other cannot ie: the greyed out library icon.
    It is even more confusing when bringing Adobe Bridge into play.
    I realise I am at the bottom end of the Mac learning curve and therefore ask on whether there any manuals or techincal literature explaining what is going on?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    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 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 editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds

    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 created 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. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • IPhoto & Photoshop Saves

    Do I have this right?
    I use iPhoto to organize my photos, and use it to launch Photoshop to edit a picture. As a photographer, I don't edit your originals. You save the edited version elsewhere. But I am unable to save it back to iPhoto in the original folder or a new one. The only way to get an edited photo back into iPhoto without overwriting the original is to save it elsewhere, then import it back into iPhoto.
    Is this right? This doesn't seem a very "Apple" way to go about this, especially with such an obviously popular editing program. No one thought of this integration issue when dealing with an outside application?
    I have yet to figure out why iPhoto design does this "library" way of storing everything. So far, using iPhoto instead of Adobe Bridge is very inflexible...but then again I'm migrating from Windows, so there may be ways of working with Apple's apps that aren't apparent to me.
    Thanks for any advice or workarounds.

  • Best workflow - iPhoto + Photoshop (Elements) or simply drop iPhoto?

    Hi everyone.
    I am an amateur photographer but I like to take good pictures and have them look at least semi-pro. My wife and I have been using iPhoto for years to organize our photos. Some basic editing is also done in iPhoto.
    However, the biggest reason to use iPhoto is the ease of organization and the sharing features (share via email, Facebook, etc. right from iPhoto).
    I am ready to move to Photoshop (via Photoshop Elements, I don't need the full program). But I am not sure it is easy to go from iPhoto to Elements.
    Would you recommend:
    1. using iPhoto + Elements (how? right click a picture in RAW and "edit with external editor"?)
    2. simply organize and edit it ALL with Photoshop Elements and forget iPhoto (is there an easy way to import the iPhoto Library with at least some of its organization elelemtns like albums, RAW pictures and dates into Adobe Bridge or Elements?)
    Please help, what would be the best workflow?
    Maybe Lightroom or Aperture? (which don't seem to offer the same features as Photoshop or Elements)...

    We need to clarify a few things.
    You cannot edit a RAW file.
    A RAW is a dump from the camera's sensor. All the data that the sensor "saw" is poured into this container. Nothing can be done with this data. It can't be printed or anything else. All that can be done is to process this data into a usable form - that is to a recognised graphic format: jpeg, tiff, png etc.
    In a point and shoot camera this process is done automatically by the camera. With high end P&S and with dSLR you can either have it done for you in the Camera or do it yourself.
    When you use Aperture you are doing it yourself... Processing the RAW into a working format.
    So, in the iPhoto version you would send the RAW to the Elements, +process it to a jpeg (or whatever)+ and save that jpeg to the desktop and then import it.
    Oddly, iPhoto and Aperture share exactly the same engine for processing RAWs. You've just got more fine control (read: knobs and sliders) with Aperture. If you're content to process your RAWs in iPhoto then it's the same machinery as Aperture.
    With Aperture here's what happens:
    You import the RAW and process it. Aperture records your processing decisions +in a database+ and next time you view the pic applies them live as you view it. (This is why the Hardware requirements for Aperture are much higher than for iPhoto). Again, if you want to print, Aperture makes a printable version on demand.
    There is nothing to be gained (that I know of) from sending the RAW to Elements from Aperture.
    If you want to further edit in Elements Aperture will send a processed tiff to Elements for work (or psd - it's a setting in the Preferences).
    1. I have a lot of pictures which were RAAW and I edited in iPhoto without knowing it would convert them to JPEG as soon as I hit the "edit" button. Now, when I import to Aperture, will Aperture import BOTH the original RAW file AND the edited JPEG version?
    iPhoto did not convert those files to Jpeg. It preserved the RAW and processed the file and saved the output as a jpeg. Want to see your actual RAW? File -> Export: *Kind: Original*.
    Yes, if you use Aperture's Import iPhoto Library option it will bring it all over. But experiment first, because some folks don't like this and prefer to only bring over the RAWs and re-process them in Aperture.
    3. Will Aperture preserve the organization I had in place (e.g. tags, albums, faces, etc.)?
    Yes and No. I'm fairly sure that it brings over Events and Albums. It definitely brings over tags and keywords. It certainly does not bring over Faces. Faces are not part of any standard metadata at this time, and Aperture (and LR) has no way to work with them.
    My advice always when considering a change like this is to download the trial, import a couple of hundred pics and explore and see what happens when you press this button or that.

  • Does iPhoto & photoshop elements share the same photo library

    Does iPhoto &amp; photoshop elements share the same photo library

    By memory I assume you mean disk space. The best way to do that is to move your libraries to external HD's which are inexpensive. I keep my music, photo and movie libraries on EHD's which keeps my internal HD relatively free. My internal HD is 320GB however it still has 219GB free because I manage the internal HD for only the OS and critical files that are accessed daily. Here are two links that show how how easy it is to do:
    iPhoto: How to move the Library to a EHD
    iTunes: How to move the library to a EHD
    If you get an EHD with a fast connection you probably won't see any difference in speed accessing files. If your machine has a FW800 port then use it with a FW800 EHD. Three drives I'd recommend for their quality and features are the:
    OWC Mercury Elite Pro series
    LaCie d2 Quadra series
    G-Tech G-DRIVE series

  • IPhoto & Photoshop CS

    I would like to open a photo from my iPhoto library in Photoshop.
    In PS I select File>Open, and I get a dialog box.
    I scroll down to Places and click on the Pictures icon (on the left) - and here is the snag: iPhoto Library is greyed out, but PhotoBooth is available. If I go down to Media and click on the Photos icon, I again see nothing.

  • 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.

  • IPhoto & Photoshop CS3 extended

    Hello everyone, I have a question related to Photoshop, I figured this would be a good place to find an answer. In photoshop CS3 extended, using the magnetic lasso to extract part of an image, after I extract the image, how do I put it somewhere else? I cannot find an answer to this anywhere on the web, so I thought I would try here, if anyone has the answer please help, I am really trying to figure this out before I drop the cash to buy it, I am on the free trial right now and the magnetic lasso feature is the only reason I want it. Thanks

    After you select the area you want with the magic lasso, do a Command-X (cut) and then Command-V (paste). Change to the arrow cursor mode and click and drag the area you selected to wherever you want it. A new layer will be created with the cut and pasted area in it.
    If you're considering PS CS3 just for the lasso feature you might consider Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac. It has the same lasso feature and about 80 % of CS3's features at 1/7 the price. I wouldn't get CS3 for just that.

  • 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:

  • IPhoto-Photoshop question...

    I'm making an 8.5 x 11 book in iPhoto, but I want to customize my 8.5 x 11 pages. What size should I make my layout pages in photoshop? Should I make them 8.5 x 11 or does it need a bleed?

    Bleed is build into the book layouts  so you don't need to worry about it.  Just create an 11 x 8.5 image at 300 dpi with the sRGB color profile.
    Always create a PDF file of the book before ordering to proof as Keith has suggested. Then compare it with the printed copy when it arrives to confirm you got what you expected.

  • IPhoto, Photoshop CS2 or CS3 beta?

    I asked here earlier if iphoto can change the color of peoples eyes and received the response that iphoto is primarilly a final stage editing tool.
    therefore im asking which is better... this should be answered by those who have used either/or both...
    which is better right now... to edit photos
    Photoshop CS2 or CS3 Beta?
    All i want to do is simply make photos better. photos of friends and family. adjustments like changing or making eyes a lighter color, things like that.

    Decemberist:
    I've been using the beta since it's been out and have had no problems at all. It's so much faster in loading and running than CS2.
    But Terence is exactly right about PS Elements. PSE can't work with CMYK files but that's pretty much specialized for professional printing. For the general user it does everything we could want. Here's one example of the advanced capabilities.

  • IPhoto/Photoshop/RAW issues

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone can suggest a solution to this.
    I've started shooting raw with my Canon 450D. iPhoto seems to be able to import these files without any issues.
    I want to be able to edit these files in Photoshop as editing them in iPhoto defeats the purpose of shooting raw.
    What I'm doing is control clicking on a raw photo in iPhoto and choosing "edit in external editor". This brings the photo into Photoshop opening the raw editing dialog box. Perfect.
    Then the trouble starts - where to from here? If I make adjustments in the Photoshop raw editor and click "done", the image is not updated in iPhoto. If I do a "save as" and try and import a jpeg or tiff or so on into iPhoto, it won't allow this because there is already an image with that filename in there. I can save a jpeg to the desktop and rename the file, import this into iPhoto but then I would have to delete the raw file because I don't want two of the same image in there. I also notice if I save my raw file out from Photoshop as a tiff or psd and put it in iPhoto, iPhoto will change the date and time to a random date and time which is neither the time the photo was shot or the time I saved it out in Photoshop.
    Anyway all of these things are incredibly cumbersome, there must be an easier way, right?
    Cheers, Darren

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Terence mentioned Expression Media. I use it as my primary DAM (digital asset application) and iPhoto to create special projects, MMe galleries, books, calendars, etc.
    EM is considered one of the top DAM apps. You can learn about it and other applications at The DAM Forum - Index. EM lets you manage your folders as you want, edit and write ITPC metadata to the files, has version control in editing if so desired, both with EM's editing tools or a 3rd party like Photoshop. It will be a supported on Macs.
    If you want to the RAW photo in iPhoto it's best to use a 3rd party editor that is designed for raw. The downside to that is you will have to save the edited version outside of the iPhoto library and import as a new, separate file.
    For what it's worth here are some tips on using PS with iPhoto:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    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.

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.

There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.
