Opening files in PSE from iPhoto - Saving issue

I opened my files to edit in PSE10 directly from the flagged folder in iPhoto. I noticed it was saving them to a weird numbered file but kept going. I can't find the folder ANYWHERE! How can I recover my edited pictures?

I'm not sure what you're doing but you have two choices when using iphoto with PSE:
1. Set PSE as your external editor, send the photos from iphoto and save, not save as, without changing the name or format. You will have to go to the PSE preferences>saving files>on first save and set it to save over existing file to do this. Then you should see the edited photo in iphoto. iPhoto will remember your last edited version and you can revert to the original at any time, but you will have to lose the edited version to do so.
2. Export the photos from iphoto, use file>open in the PSE editor and then make as many changes to the name or format as you like. You will need to import the edited file to iphoto as a new image, but this lets you save as many versions as you like.
The one thing you should never do is to try to save anything into iphoto from outside iphoto. That's the fastest track there is to corrupting the iphoto library and losing all your pics.

Opening files in photoshop from Iphoto

I am switching over from Photoshop Cs3 on a PC to CC on a Mac. Huge adjustment. My question is, how the heck do I open or drag and drop photos from iphoto into photoshop? I can seem to be able to get the programs to work hand in hand. Anyone else having this issue?

You can't.
iPhoto does not play nice with any other application. It buries and hides your image files in what Apple calls "Packages" that no other software can access.
You need to launch iPhoto first, then relaunch it and EXPORT copies of all the images you want to open or edit in any other application.

I was loading a big file of photos from iPhoto to Adobe Photoshop CS3 and it keep collapsing, yet each time I reopen photoshop it load the photos again and cal laps again. is there a way to stop this cycle?

Opening files in ps from lr.....

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help......?
When i open files in ps from lr, the images don't have the exposure changes i've made in lr. Is there anything I can do to stop this as it's very frustrating to have done colour changes etc, then no have them shown in ps.
Thanks in advance

The jpgs contain my photoshop edits so that is why I save them. As far as I know, the lightroom data will be retained but any additional photoshop editing will need to be saved in some format. I'm a professional photographer so I like to have the JPGS easily available for when people order prints.
I suppose that is just a difference in our personal workflows. Since JPEG files are compressed with lossy compression, many people prefer to keep the TIF or the PSD that Photoshop creates. That file contains all of the Photoshop changes as well as the original Lightroom adjustments. And there is no quality loss in those files. Then JPEG images are created as needed for printing or sharing on the web. And once that purpose has been met, the JPEG files are deleted. But your workflow seems to be different, and one that you are comfortable with. Sorry for harping like I did. I didn't even think about your need to upgrade ACR. Just be aware that if you decide to upgrade it will be necessary to upgrade both programs in order to keep everything in sync.

Using PSE 10 on Windows. Can no longer open files in PSE 10?

Have used PSE 10 successfully for quite awhile. Can no longer open files in this program. Choose, "open file" in PSE 10 and nothing happens.

I'd try
set myFilePath to POSIX file "/Users/Shared/ENGR/sketch/Artists/daleb/16.0/New1/ANNIE_SUB_COMPLETE /31.5-058.psd"
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS6"
open alias myFilePath
end tell

Missing Audio / Sound in imovie with .AVI files when imported from iphoto

fortunately i don't need this answered, eventually figured it out my self, just thought it would be helpful to share the solution to this problem as I'm sure others have experienced it. The problem makes more sense when explained chronologically.
My wife has a Casio digital camera, and had recorded many Movies on it, they all sat in iPhoto all worked fine until i upgraded to Quicktime 7.5, then the audio disappeared. i tried in vain to fix (reinstalled QT 7.5, removed plugins, reinstalled etc.), but to no avail, so i left it - this was all under Tiger, i decided I'd upgrade to Leopard and see if the problem went away.
Before upgrading to Leopard i got iLife 08, when i first launched iMovie08 it pulled in all the movies from iPhoto, but they too had no sound.
Then i upgraded to Leopard, now the quicktime missing audio issue got fixed, so i could hear the audio again when launching quicktime via iPhoto (turns out the issue was with how quicktime was handling adaptive PCM audio stream) - i expected all would be fine in iMovie... but it wasnt.
after much experimentation i realised that i had to force iMovie to re-import all the video from iPhoto, this fixed the issue, but with no obvious way to do this, this is what i did:
- opened finder, navigated to iphoto library, right click and chose 'show package contents'
- navigated to the data folder and did a search on this folder only for all movie files (when imovie had originally converted iPhoto movie files into thumbnails it dropped all the thumb size movie files in this folder)
- deleted all the movie files from the Data folder, making sure not to delete the movie files in any other folders & emptied trash
- launched imovie, now all the iphoto movies were missing.
- re-launch iPhoto, whilst holding down shift, option + command keys
- checked 'rebuild the iphoto library database' only, once done, closed iphoto
- re-launched imovie, this forced it to re-import all the movies from iphoto
... and then the sound was back.
FYI
this worked when using...
OS 10.5.4
QT 7.5
iMovie 7.1.4
iPhoto 7.1.4

Hi MGW,
I do not no how things are handled when using HDV and technical documentation is hard to find on this topic of how photo are handled using HDV but in iMovie and most non HDV video editing software the picture is always 72ppi regardless of what is was/is on the outside and the images that appear the worst are the ones with less.
On a side note I don't use iPhoto because of all the superfluous files and thumbnails it creates and it disorganises my photos according to criteria that is completely irrelevant to me. I have had these thumbnails pop up in the browser in the past primarily with any photos that existed in the library prior to any updates. With what I have been working on as of late can understand how and why this could happen.
If you scroll through the media browser dose it appear that the library you are working with duplicates itself somewhere along the line or do you see double images side by side?
What are you machine specs and please include you screen/display size and graphics card information as this is the most relevant information at this point with what you are doing.

Opening files in PSE 13

I received PSE 13 a few days ago (I was previously using v. 11) and I am trying to figure out how to set preferences as they relate to opening files. I have a bunch of old JPEG photos that were taken with a point-and-shoot and which never had to do anything with Camera RAW. If I start at the Organizer workspace, select a photo and then go to the Editor, the photo opens in the normal PSE 13 Editor workspace. If however I bypass the Organizer step, start at the Editor, select the file directly from the hard disk and click "Open" (not "Open in Camera Raw) the file opens in Camera Raw anyway. Is this the way it is supposed to work or have I inadvertently changed something in Preferences? (I checked, btw, and could not find any evidence).
Many thanks!

Once you have opened a particular image in Camera Raw, it will always open there in the future. To prevent that, hold down the shift key as you open the file and it will open in the editor.

Can't open files with spaces from gui applications

When I try to open a file or directory from say qbittorrent or clementine in xfce, I get the message:
"Failed to open URI "file:///somewhere/filename%20with%20spaces".
Googling told me this problem was due to passing a "%U" instead of a "%F" somwhere, but I don't know where to change this.

I don't use any DE or those kinds of gui tools, but the "%U" instead of an "%F" issue would be in the .desktop files. There are systemwide .desktop files in /usr/share/applications/ and you can override these with your own customized versions in ~/.local/share/applications/
So a workaround at least would be to copy the relevant desktop files from the system-wide folder to your user's folder and edit them appropriately changing %U to%F.

Cannot Print book from iphoto (network issue)

I cannot get a book to print from iphoto or access itunes music store through my school network. My school has a PC network, I am the only teacher to use macs in my classroom. I can access the music store through XP on parallels so I know the network connection is good. I believe the problem is a network setting either on my macbook or in our server. Our Tech cannot identify the problem. I just updated all applications to the latest versions.

Bill:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That sound more that a networking issue that should be posted in the Tiger Getting Online & Networking forum. There will be users there that should be able to address your problem.
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.

Open file in excel from labview

I need a way to open an existing Excel file, that may or may not be open already. I am using the attached "Open Specific WorkBook.vi" from the examples. My LabVIEW program must be able to either open a specifc Excel workbook and worksheet even if it is already open. Is this even possible, or would it be better to close it (if open), the open it again?

Open Specific WorkBook.vi ‏37 KB

As you probably know, nothing "bad" happens when you open Excel if it's already open, it just doesn't come to the front of your LabVIIEW ap. To get it to the front, Minimize the Excel window then immediately Maximize it (or Normalize it) programmatically with a PN. I have tried many of the other methods (but not all of them) to no avail, this works for me. There may be a more elegant solution.
There are other known methods to bring an ap to the front, with callbacks etc, but they can be clunky, or require Userlib32, etc. Since this property node already exists in your ap, it's comes at little expense.
Of course, you may want to check that the ap was open before you do this, but even that is optional, at the expense of a little flashing on the screen.

How do I organize photos in DVD size folders, by topic, by date, etc? I plan to set up a new archive on an external hard drive (1 TB) for about 7500 photos. Some from a series of XP files, the rest from iPhoto. I use iPhoto11 on Lion with a 2011 MacBoo

I need to know several answers, and I don't feel I can do it without the basic folder system. Also, I understand burning folders instead of individual photos or albums gives you more space on a DVD. How can I keep the captions on my photos (not events) when I print or transfer to a new folder? I have been using computers for 20+ years for photos, and have scanned some on Windows and transferred some but not all that I wish to archive in new compositions, albums, whatever that are not all on iPhoto. i also am concerned about overflowing my capacity on MacBook Pro 2011. Tne only way I know is to copy photos from the Windows to folders on my HD, then copy and paste photos or albums or events to HD, then create a new folder and fill it to the appropriate DVD size. Is this my only option? I also thought I should download future photos to my Canon programming that comes with EOS cameras and edit and then decide which photos to save to iPhoto library and which to save only to my archival HD?

Paragraphs help the reader, just saying.
What are you actually trying to do? Why do you need "DVD size" folders if you're creatng an Archive on an external hard drive?
Also, I understand burning folders instead of individual photos or albums gives you more space on a DVD.
It makes no difference at all.
How can I keep the captions on my photos (not events) when I print or transfer to a new folder?
You can export while writing the metadata to the file in most cases.
Tne only way I know is to copy photos from the Windows to folders on my HD, then copy and paste photos or albums or events to HD, then create a new folder and fill it to the appropriate DVD size.
HD? Another HD? You use HD there in a way that makes no sense. What's the point of 'DVD size'?
I also thought I should download future photos to my Canon programming that comes with EOS cameras and edit and then decide which photos to save to iPhoto library and which to save only to my archival HD?
Does this have any relation to the previous questions? You know you can delete from iPhoto, right?
You're somewhat confused and you need to
1. Decide what exactly you want to do
2. Then go about it.
If I understand you correctly - and there's no guarantee that I do - the easiest thing is to bring all your Photos into iPhoto and do everything from there.
You can have an archive on an external disk, you can sort and select and edit with or via iPhoto

Opening files automatically in VBA and saving to PDF, Adobe Acrobat XI Pro

Hello,
I have Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and I want to ask if there is any possibility to open automatically files in Adobe by VBA (Word files, Excel, etc.) and save them to PDF? Or maybe it is a possibility to print them with Adobe PDF Printer? If there is something like that can you give me a sample of code?
Thank for your help.
Best regards,
Robert

Thank you for your advices.
I already download Acrobat SDK before, but it's really complicated for someone who know only VBA at intermediate level.
I really plan to learn javascripts and COM in future, but I was thinking that if I ask you for I guess easy think (opening files and saving them to pdf) you will help by giving similar code or some clues.
Anyway I found this two methods in documentation: PDDoc.Save and PDDoc.Open and I believe that a combination of them can finally help me. Do you know how I can connect them to one part?

Size file for book from iphoto

Hi,
I have iphoto5. I want to ask a group of people to send me digital photos that I will plug into a medium book in iphoto. How do I want to explain what size file I need from them? I cannot find documentation that tells me what size file is needed to print good quality photos.
thanks

Unable to save or open files in Excel from Office 2011 on my Mac Air with Mountain Lion?

Excel 2011 no longer saves or opens files?

I found this page under Microsoft's web area listing known issues with Excel 2011 on the Mac.
One is entitled "You cannot save a file that includes a hyperlink". That and/or other references on this page might be helpful.
