Lightroom 4 to Photo/Edit in Elements 10
HELP, I just loaded Elements 10 on my new Big Mac, and when I select Photo/Edit In from LR4, Elements 10 opens, but will not open the image. I've tried different settings, and have rebooted.
Make sure you have Adobe Elements 10 app and not the alias(Adobe Elements 10) selected in the external editing preferences.

Photo Editing, Photoshop elements 4.0 doesn't work with snow leopard?
Tried reinstalling photoshop elements after upgrading to snow leopard and message came back not compatible. ? , what version is that doesn't break you wallet and can do some decent photo editing including cutting and removing parts of images, pasting, etc. thanks
The latest version, 8, can be had for around $79, and is an amazing editor for the price. If you're not familiar with it's features I suggest you visit the site and see what it can do. Here's a list of several editors that support layers for editing:
Image Editors that support the use of layers:
Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac - $80
GraphicConverter- $35
Rainbow Painter - $30
Acorn- $50
Seashore- Open Source
IMO PSE gives you more bang for the buck. If I didn't have Photoshop (given to me) I would buy it in a second. Version 8 has more features that I use than PS CS3.

Cannot edit lightroom 2 photo in photoshop elements 9, help please.
I am using OS 10.6.5. I have Lightroom 2.7 installed and I just purchased Photoshop Elements 9. I am trying to edit my Lightroom photos in Elements by going to the menu, selecting photos and then the Edit In, but I am not able to select any of the options as they are grayed out. I have uninstalled and re-installed both programs and that has not helped. Any suggestions? Let me know if more info is needed.
Thanks,
SamPlease repost in the Lightroom or Photoshop elements forum.

No, it's just that adobe makes it really hard to find the actual editor in the mac version. It's in applications>adobe photoshop elements 11>Support Files, not the logical file at the top level of the folder:

Sending photos for editing in elements
How can I transfer photos from lightroom 5 after editing to elements 12 for final editing?
I think you need to be a member of Elements Village to open attachments at that link. You can do the setup in Lightroom prefs. From the Library go to:
Edit >> Preferences
Then select the External Editing tab.
Click the choose button in the section for Additional External Editor and then navigate to Photoshop Elements Editor application to complete the set up.
You need to start the round trip from LR as follows and use the save command (Ctrl+S) not save as:
1) Ctrl+E in the Library to export selected image with develop settings (I choose PSD)
2) Edit in Photoshop; then Ctrl+S to replace (overwrite) Lightroom export copy
3) Ctrl+W to close in Photoshop and update Lightroom thumbnail -
When attempting to use Lightroom external editor program to edit a photo in Photoshop Elements 10, the photo does not open / appear on photoshop elements screen. I don't have any problem with this when using Photoshop Elements 6 or Photoshop CS. I'm using a Mac with Mountain Lion OS. Any solutions?

Photo editing capabilities: Lightroom vs Photoshop/Photoshop Elements
Hi,
I have a question about the features in lightroom. I'm not yet a photoshop user so I hope people can understand if I don't use the right terms. It seems from the web site that lightroom is a photo editor and a image file organizer. If I don't need a image file organizer is there any reason to buy lightroom instead of photoshop or photoshop elements. Does lightroom have image editing features that are not in photoshop elements or not in the full version of photoshop?
Thanks
Message title was edited by: Brett NThanks again. I think the biggest concern that I have at this point is how this catalog transfer process will deal with my PSE images that I have stored offline on DVDs. Let me explain...
To save disk space, my process is to import RAW files into PSE Organizer, tag them, rate them, then move the images to a DVD. This allows me to see the image as a large thumbnail in the Organizer, complete with all the tags, but keeps the huge files off my hard drive and puts them on inexpensive, reliable media. Then, if I ever need to access the full image, I simply put in the DVD and the full image is instantly available, where it can be moved back to the harddrive if needed for edits or printing. I probably have 30 or so DVDs of images and the PSE organizer tracks all of them flawlessly. I've even moved .psd files to DVD to free up harddrive space, and the Organizer still lets me know that I have that offline .psd file available and also the name of the DVD of where it lives. I love this approach... keeping the big image files separate from the catalog (especially images that I rarely need access to, but don't want to remove from the catalog). I'd say 80% of my Organizer catalog is comprised of these offline images and having only the thumbnails in the catalog works great for me.
From your earlier replies (#9 and #13 above), it sounds like Lr won't transfer these thumbnails when I move the PSE Catalog to Lr. If I need to move ALL of those offline images to my harddrive before I do the "Upgrade Catalog" command, that will be a huge problem. I simply don't have the free space available. So Ideally, I want to transfer the thumbnails, tags, metadata, and offline file location information from my PSE Organizer catalog to the Lr Organizer, and I would like to do that without having to load DVDs. Is this possible? If not, I haven't been able to find any procedure outlined anywhere that addresses this specific situation... Can it be done one DVD at a time? Thanks. -
I don't know what to order. I want PS for photo editing and some composting. I don't do any website work or sharing yet. I have been using elements for a few years and also have Lightroom 5 on my desktop. I don't want to spend $1000s for a bunch of stuff I don't use. Any advice on what to buy?
Well, there is a whole world of free or affordable software out there like GIMP, PDPaint and similar. Otherwise if you want to stick with Adobe stuff signing up for the CC photography program would be the most cost-efficient way...

I upgraded from elements 10 to 13 today. When PSE 13 was installed, I uninstalled PSE 10. I also own Lightroom 4.4. However, I used to be able to switch from LR4, to PSE 10 now I cannot switch to PSE 13. (Photo>Edit In>Edit in Photoshop) is grey. Why?
You might also ask for help in the Lightroom forum.
What I have found is that when I upgraded from PSE12 to 13, my Lightroom 5.6 still selected PSE12 in the list of external editors. I had to use the preferences menu to select the right PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe in the Program Files/Adobe/Photoshop Elements 13 folder. I got a message stating that Photoshop Elements was already selected as external editor. In that message box, there is a button with the option to 'change anyway', which I did. Now LR correctly opens PSE13 when I choose Edit in Elements. -
Photo Edit In Photoshop Elements 10 not working
I've set up Lightroom so that my PS Elements 10 appears as a menu item in the Photo -> Edit In menu.
When I select that option for the selected photo, it begins the process of opening Photoshop Elements 10. PS Elements 10 opens and is functional but there is no open image - it does not load the image selected in Lightroom.
(I'm using LR4.3 and PSE 10.0 on Mac OS X 10.7.5)
What could be wrong?
Follow-up:
When I came back to the computer about 10 mins later a dialogue box had appeared saying "Could not complete your request because of a program error."You chose the logical file instead of the correct one, most likely. Adobe sneakily hides the actual editor inside the support files folder. You want this one:

Lightroom Edit in Elements problem
I have Lr3 and Elements10, when in Lr and I go to photo-edit and choose elements, the Elements program launches fully but the photo doesn't show.
If I go photo-edit and choose PS this opens the photo no problem, even though it's PS CS1.
Can anyone help?
SteveI've managed to sort the problem, I have a Mac so in LR Preferences go to External Editing, Adobe Photoshop CS for me was already chosen in the upper box. In the Additional External Editor box go to 'Choose' navigate to Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements/Support Files and choose 'Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor'.
Just choosing the first Adobe Photoshop Elements opened up the Elements window where you choose Organise or Edit and failed to open the file from LR.
I do thing it's poor that Adobe cannot fix this problem or give clearer advice, I only realised when viewing Adobe's tutorial 'Using Lightroom and Elements together' and it shows navigating to Elements Editor. How many people like me intuitively chose the first Adobe Photoshop Elements icon when navigating, it's certainly not intuitive to go into support files. So come on Adobe, fix this or make it clearer.
Hope this helps those who have this problem. -
On Macbook Pro in Lightroom 4 I have set Photoshop Elements to Edit. However, when I go to Photo>Edit in Photoshop Elements 10, Elements opens but image does no appear?

Howto upgrade the photoshop Element photo editing software of Adobe
I've never used the Elements side of Photoshop. I've always used Photoshop full version and Lightroom. But from what I read it has a cataloging/viewer and you can make different catalogs and or collections with it ( a catalog and or collection is a collection of images which can be all in one folder or many different folders at the same time or both combined) and that it has the basic to slightly advanced editing functions. Not sure about levels and curves but I would think so. Although it may not have the layers functions like in the full Photoshop.
You can download a Demo of lightroom and use it for 30 days. you just have to deal with the startup screen thatasks Continue Demo or Buy Lighroom. Other then that it is funlly functional.
Depending on whether you do mostly JPG or RAW images the one thing I like about Lightroom is it can edit either JPGs or many different RAW formats without really touching, editing, the original image file. So that is always your Negative, in old Film Speak.
As VilleFromFinland says it really is about how you manage your images. But with iPhoto it wants to Manage them for you. Where they are stored and how you interact with them. Personally I rather put them where and how I want them then have a program that can view edit them.
Good Luck & Best Wishes. -
I got iPhoto '11, version 9.2.3 and want to edit photos using Photoshop elements 10.

I did fine with the old iPhoto and "Shop elements 6... .

How can I edit a photo in Photoshop Elements and have the edit appear in Windows 7, My Pictures?
In Windows XP Pro, any edit I made to a photo in Photoshop Elements 10 appeared automatically in that photo in My Pictures. This does not happen in my new Windows 7 computer. Can I change that and have the edit from PE10 appear in My Documents/My Pictures?
When you finish editing choose:
File >> Save As
Then choose a file name and folder and save.
